OK, so the first video I tried to stream from the main pc wouldn't play on the default player so VLC installed from the app store and everything's good - turn the TV off mid video and when you turn it back on goes back to VLC and resumes.
Brightness issues on Amazon Prime this evening (screen keeps dimming), but so far so good with no dimming issues on any other source.
Also the tv has a satellite tuner but cant seem to filter encrypted channels so 'found' over 1000 channels but most not watchable.
Altogether pretty happy.
