Is this possible, can I make the two work together?

As far as I know, the only Infrared Remote supported by the Shield is the Harmony Remotes. There's a guide for setting it up on Nvidia's forums.
The Sky remote has a ton of presets but I don't think you can program it in the way you're looking for (I haven't had Sky in a few years so the newest remotes may have fixed that).
Not unless you have programmed it with your TV, the remote profile has directional buttons for your TV and your TV sends directional keypresses over HDMI-CEC
Shield TV has HDMI CEC and an IR receiver. So if your remote is programmable you should be able to use it.
