Yeah, I see what you mean. In my setup - for Youtube TV you can have 6 accounts - but you can only stream 3 concurrently. And for HD Homerun you would need one tuner per concurrent user - including anything that might be recording at the time. So, 4 concurrent max in my case.
If your kids watch primarily the same type of paid content like Disney+ or whatever then that would allow you to get around the Youtube TV concurrent users issue. I think Disney+ allows 4 concurrent streams at once. It's only my wife, myself, and my MIL living in the same house. But we watch my 2 1/2 YO grandson 3 or 4 times a week and he watches the heck out of Youtube Kids and some shows I've downloaded for him on Plex. He also watches some Disney and Disney Kids which comes with Youtube TV.
If your kids are like him and love the same shows (over, and over, and over, LOL) then downloading local might work and wouldn't use IPS bandwidth. I have 4 seasons of Blaze and the Monster Machines, 8 seasons of Paw Patrol, etc... When we get through all seasons I just restart with season 1. LOL. That works fine for now. We'll see when he gets older...
My MIL absolutely had to have FNC and HGTV. But as her dementia/Alzheimer's has progressed and she's now bedridden - I can tune the TV to almost anything including local channels and she doesn't know the difference. Bless her heart.
She was a real estate broker for over 40 years. She likes the real estate shows like Flip or Flop or whatever. Problem is, with her dementia she thinks the people on TV are actually in the room with her. She waves, talks to them, answers back, etc. Before she was bedridden, we'd catch her trying to walk out the front door saying she has to "go show a house" or "do some paperwork". Had to get a Ring camera for the front door just to make sure she didn't run off in the middle of the night. LOL. Also a good thing that indoor door knobs like the ones in her area of the house are reversible...
