Didn't realise dvi feed audio.

That's good to hear/see.

You could drive both tv's off one pc however, if you want to watch something on both pc's at the same time you will run in to issues due to audio, as you won't iirc be able to specify which audio output each piece of media uses, but I have not tried doing that so you might be able to but it would probably be abit fiddily.
I used one of these WD units until I got my 3D Smart TV, and that little WD unit had no trouble playing content from my pc over wireless and also was fine with Netflix, Youtube and Radio. |
It'll be stored in the kitchen 5 ft from lounge TV and 8 ft from kitchen TV. They already have a wd live media player.
I think the idea would be that PC/TV could be accessed from either room and not sure about watching 2 different "films" at same time, will speak to them tomorrow and get a fuller idea about what they need.
What I need to remember is that they are both 72 and ease of use is paramount.
