My grandfather likes watching YouTube videos, but even the simple Apple TV interface was too difficult for him (remembering all the remote buttons, mostly). I know it's very simple, but it was just too much for him.
However, he knows how to use his iPhone to play music and use AirPlay to stream it to a stereo (Airport Express). So I showed him how to AirPlay to an Apple TV and now he doesn't need to know anything about how to work the Apple TV (as long as he changes the input, the Apple TV will automatically wake up as soon as it receives an AirPlay stream).
Basically, if your relatives like the iPad app, just have them continue to use that and then send the video to an Apple TV via AirPlay.
