Another option that I've never used could be to move the Apple TV box
up next to the modem-router and plug it in with a cable, then use one
of the wireless "video sender" devices to get the video onto the TV
downstairs. Most have IR capabilities as well so remotes still
function. Something like the various models on this Amazon page:

YJI>

Another option would be to plug the computer directly into the TV with
a video adapter.

Of course the most obvious and cheapest option is to simply move the
Apple TV and TV set upstairs next to the modem-router.  :-)
