Any easy way to make it look like my IP is US when I want it to?

While I'm in Germany, I'm missing a bit of US TV. I have subscribed to mlb.tv, which is great to catch baseball games, and I always check out Comedy Central's Motherload. However, I want to be able to see the ad-supported streaming shows that networks are starting to put on their website (ABC, CBS coming, etc.). Problem is, they don't allow non-US viewers to view.

Any simple solutions?

Yes, I know bit torrent et al are available and stuff, but I'm not really keen on it . . . and I figure viewing ad-supported streams that are available by the content provider is much more legally sound.

I've also thought about a slingbox hooked up to the TV of the 'rents, but watching live stuff doesn't really help, and they don't have a DVR.

Thanks!

Find or run a proxy server in the US while you are gone? Then point your browser to the proxy server, and you IP address will look like where ever the proxy is.
