New Box for Italian and UK TV Channels

Newby here so be gentle. In the past we have had someone sort our hardware and I have only had to sort the subscription.

For the past 6 or 7 years we have had a setup the same as our current setup which is a Technomate Nano box which is linked up to a multi LNB sat dish to provide Italian TV (and also UK sky). The current box does not have a hard drive. We do currently still subscribe to Sky but would like to get rid. What has been holding us back is the ease of recording, pause and play and multiroom.
I have heard that total internet boxes (as opposed to boxes connected to the internet and a dish) is the way to go.
So my starter questions are:
1. Can my existing box be used?
2. Should I keep my existing setup and get additional boxes with internet only.
3. What am I looking for when buying a new box – does a box come ready to go (just add subscription?) or does it need modifying?
4. What is the best way to distribute around the house – separate boxes?
5. How do I get a subscription and presumably a separate one for each box?
6. Will I get the same channels by subscription?
