Pulling a cable from your current network location would obviously be ideal, but not necessarily a requirement if all you need is streaming movies/sports.
How far away is it, and what do you already use for wifi? If you don't have crazy bandwidth needs, any mediocre wireless mesh should be able to get you streaming.
If you can afford it (~$350+), one with a dedicated backhaul band would be ideal for easy, reliable connectivity.
