Hey Rob - been a while :)
We run Plex (file content & online) & Youview+
<http://www.johnlewis.com/bt-youview-smart-500gb-freeview-hd-digital-tv-rec=
order/p1339313>
(twin tuner, live TV recording & time shift - as alternative to Sky+)
which
seems to work well for all the family.
Particularly like Plex has multiple apps for SmartTVs (we use Samsung one)
& Amazon FireTV Stick etc.... so no need to connect PCs to each screen
&
separate content on different TVs.
