[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1025229"] Although it can be done, the digital version of the analog scenario you describe is cumbersome. Rather, you should benefit from everything being digital, and use software to do the re-distribution you want. The easiest way is to buy a Slingbox, and watch TV remotely on a PC or tablet/smartphone. Connect box to (one) Skybox (with component outs), and you can remote control your box and watch the output. If you must have Sky, then that's probably the realistic way of doing it. If you can live with Freesat, the there are freeware alternatives to Sling that uses tuner cards and TV-headend software (and similar) and a normal PC. These can be made to do what you want, especially if you connect to your home network via a VPN. Else you need a server with IP interfaces on the actual internet for streaming, and with all requirements for firewalls and security. The deployment of the freeware server setup connected to the internet requires some PC skills, and while potentially great fun setting up, also can involves serious headaches. Are you happy to run Linux and set-up software packages and network configurations? [/QUOTE]
