Reasonably* straight forward to set up and Its accessible from pretty much any of my devices thanks to the multi platform support from Kodi.
I will admit though, I only use it to watch television in areas of the house where I dont have an antenna point, I dont really use the recording or pausing of live TV. I find that the Youview box I got with the Plusnet TV thing is pretty solid for that.
Im looking at replacing the TV card with USB devices and running the backend directly off one of the Pi2's with the TVHeadend plug in available in OSMC soon!
*I wouldn't recommend anyone else setting up mixed DVB-T2 and S2 environments in Next PVR as it can be quite an involved process in setting up the channels correctly. If just running DVB-T2 tuners then it's a doddle.
