De-interlacing Live TV and any of the Amazon Fire TV gear is not a good combination at all. HD Live TV, completely forget about it.
The RPi2 or any of the AMlogic SoC boxes will give you far far better results.

Given the OP is talking about "all the channels you could get on Sky" - I think he may be interested in lower quality sources that can't be discussed here.

Out the box no. If your using IPTV your either going to be paying a premium or your never going to get reliable channels outside of some freeview ones. If you have a tuner setup on another system you can get all the freeview/freesat channels reliably. However I have fire tv stick and it's far from a good experience watching live tv, very slow EPG/switching (60 secs+) and random crashing i'm assuming due to RAM usage.
