Thanks everyone.

My mind is made up. I think I am happy with my current setup:

Fileserver (HP proliant microserver running win8) on all the time. This serves all my media and files throughout the house. This is low power and as well as running backups and downloads over night it also runs the no-ip.org app to keep my free dns working, plus it also runs teldus for controlling my lights + home automation. I also run Plex server from here for sending music and films to various other devices. I can wake up the TV Server from this machine if I am away from home.

TVServer I will continue to wake this up when needed using WOL Power Manager. I currently have it setup so that the client wakes the TVServer if someone clicks on Live TV within MP. The TV Server also runs mpextended for watching TV via aMPdroid or WebMeidaPortal

Thanks again
