Converting incoming Sat signal to IP then streaming...

Ok so i have been working on this for a while and now have decided i need more brain power!

I am looking to 'catching' the signal directly from the LNB or switch in signal format, not video. Then converting this to a stream to stream over the net and then catch it and convert back!

Many people will come back and say ahh use the Slingbox, its great! yes i agree but this simply sends the video not the signal - so does not solve the concept.

In practice it will work like this - Dish set up in the Uk receiving - for arguments sake - Sky. Signal is 'caught' sent over the internet to a in IP format, this is then somehow converted back to the original signal via a gizmo and then a cable from the gizmo to a sky receiver.

The concept is aimed to deliver satellite signal to places where you cannot fit dishes but have a good internet connection, for example high rise flats.

i have simply used Sky as an example, it is the signal i am concerned about not the Tv content.

Hopefully this makes some sense and is not the ramblings of a mad IT installer!!!!

Any ideas!?

Cheers
