you could use something like 'slingbox' for media sharing, plug it into your sky box and wireless router and any computer which has access to your router, either in wireless range or by remote access would have access to your sky box! You can technically watch your home sky from anywhere in the world! I got one, i mean it looks like a grey plastic chocolate bar (not aesthetic but does the job well!) I think Sony do one as well but it may be even more expensive then that one...
