UPnP is performed using multicast traffic, and I believe has a TTL of 1,
disallowing any hops through routers, so the only way you would be able to
use it remotely would be through a VPN configured as a transparent bridge.
That is added to the fact that broadcast TV would require 12-16Mbps
sustained, and Bluray would require 30+Mbps sustained. You would need to
transcode the content to something lower bitrate. Look into the HLS server
in 0.26 and Master, which is designed to stream content to mobile devices
at reduced bitrate.
