One thing that may be do-able is to use a "sling-box" hookup to translate
the signal from the satellite TV box into a streaming signal to send down
to the apartment unit, then convert it back to video in the apartment.  It
should be able to translate IR signals and send them back to the satellite
receiver.  This would allow the satellite receiver to be placed anywhere
and the video to stream over the data network.

This could put the data networking to a good stress test...
