Streaming Video over Network

Am trying to sort something out so we can watch the World Cup from our office. Here's the sitaution (sounds like a Microsoft exam!!!).
On one side of the building we have excellent TV reception and network ports, in my office area we have s---e reception but network ports capable of being patched back to the other side of the building. If I were to get a PC with a TV card in and hooked this up on the good side of the building, then put the PC onto the Network (100MBs, Win2k front end, NT 4 backend) what would the best way be to stream the image back to my side. I can get a top spec PC this end onto the network and then put it through a projector so ensure a big image. So far I've only really thought about using systems such as Landesk or PC Anywhere to view the image from one to the other but that won't carry the sound I don't think, also it will probably be too slow. What would you suggest given the hardware I have ... we could probably spend about 100 quid on top of this,
