Streaming from US TV network websites

I have tried streaming a video from the NBC website but it says it is not available from my location. Has anyone found a way to circumvent this ?

Its due to different channels/companies holding the licenses in different regions around the world, one option would be to go through a proxy server making the website you are visiting think you are in the US, go to proxy.com find one in the US and stick the url you want to visit in the box and bingo, you're streaming from the US.
