I've got my Sky+HD box plugged into the router so I can watch iPlayer, 4OD and the like through it and onto the TV.

Which OS are you running on the laptop. You may well need to enable file sharing on media streaming on the laptop.

In Windows 7 these options are found in the 'Advanced Sharing Settings' in the Network and sharing centre
