You might have the same problem now as you're describing with being outside the US, but this is a pretty good website to catch up on shows. I've been catching up on Desperate Housewives with it. It's great, except for the fact you have to deal with Japanese subtitles.

I don't know about what locations they're good at, but heres the list of websites I use (in order of quality):
www.hulu.com
www.sidereel.com
www.veoh.com
www.youtube.com
I've heard good things about the slingbox, but they require good bandwidth on both sides.

But that would require you to have a Slingbox back in the states. Since Joe is already OCONUS, it's not really a help unless he gets someone else to buy one and set it up for him back "home."

Try Anonymizer. It's a proxy service for "safe surfing" but the jist of it is that your IP will now be a US based one, vice an OCONUS one. I recommended it to some of the wives that live overseas, and they reported that it worked well.
So did you recommend this while making your rounds of the "widows?" Huh, makes you wonder what PSW is doing right now..... I keed, I keed.

Bought this for a year after Phrog suggested it and it works well. I can watch Netflix online as well as most other tv programs shown on network websites. It doesn't work with Amazon Unbox however and I'm still waiting to download the last half of "The Office".
I've got a slingbox, and unless you're on a high-speed, reliable connection AND the slingbox is on one too, you're going to spend some time being frustrated as your show cuts out right in the middle. Not only that, but you essentially need a dedicated cable box - if someone else starts using that cable box (say, to watch TV), you get to watch what they want to watch and nothing else. They're neat, but can be frustrating at times.
I have been able to keep up to date with Lost, the Office, Battlestar Gallactica, Rescue Me, Entourage, and House (among others) out here in Kuwait using these "unmentionables" (I have way too much time on my hands out here). A lot of them are actually very high quality.
