I know this is an old thread that's just been resurrected, but hammy the hammer mentioned above about using a Slingbox. I have just got one of these (last week) and can confirm they work extremely well. Anything on my home tv system can be viewed wherever I am in the world over the internet. It relies on you a having a "home" for it in the UK but if you can do that you're quids in.

Hi,

How are you finding slingbox - I was thinking about getting it, just so I can watch Sky HD upstairs ....

It's quite good but all depends on your broadband speed. You don't need a fixed IP address or an always on PC as tjohnr says above. Just set it up and connect it to your source (Skybox in my case) and your modem/router and you're ready to go. Support is good if you need it. Mine is watched regularly in southern Europe and the Far East. Jumpy picture in the Far East but that's all to do with broadband speed I believe.
