OK - I'm leaning towards the Netgear router + opendns solution as long as the UK version of the router is compatible (bought my current router from argos less than 30 days ago so can go and swap it over

)
My boys know what we expect of them but at the end of the day I have 14yo twins who each have laptops in their bedrooms (lack of facebook would be social suicide apparently) so watching their every web-page personally is not really practical. I also am aware that no technical solution will be perfect but I would be remiss if I didn't try.
I'll trawl the web to see if I can find anyone who's got the netgear opendns solution working in the UK.
I can still filter access outside 7am-9pm using the basic mac filtering on the router (although my current one has to be blocked from 9pm-11:55 and then from midnight-7am!)
Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far, any further thoughts always appreciated.
