If there's a co-ax output on your cable box, I'd connect it there. If there isn't, I think you'll have to make do with four channels upstairs. Take it you have an aerial connected to upstairs TV?
However, even if you do get it connexted, you're going to have to go downstairs to change channels, I'd suggest, and this could become a bit...tiresome.

There are items like digi-eye which work with Sky box to allow you to change channels in another room. I have one which works well.
On the instructions it says how it can also be used with other boxes but never tried it. See Here for instructions so you can read yourself.
I understand there is another product which has two pyramid shaped units that will relay any remote control but never seen one.
If there is no RF output then you can use a Universal RF Modulator I use this
one. I would not say it is very good as the RF output is not well filtered and you do need to be careful selecting a frequency which will not interfere with other items but if your not receiving freeview then not too much to interfere with.
