Do you want a box that will also record?
If you don't want a PVR (one which records) then Roku gets consistently good reviews.

If you want cheap and cheerful but still well reviewed, look at Now

If you do want a PVR, I'd recommend Humax:

You must have a landline and also broadband of some description. I had a BT landline and broadband was provided on the package I was on. I also wanted a recording device so Instead of buying a box I signed up for BT vision/sport. You get a box with the package that can be used for recording 2 programmes at once and it does the catch up on all the channels. you get all the same freeview channels plus the BT sports channels. I pay £29.38 per month for landline, broadband, evening and weekend calls and BT sport. I am glad I signed up rather than bought my own device.
Tell hubby it is a false economy to buy a smart tv if you are otherwise happy with your present tv.
You will not get all the smart services you might want from one tv - it depends on the deals the manufacturers can get with the smart service providers (eg BBC iPlayer) and even if the tv you choose does have the services you want they can be withdrawn at any time.
