Can you recommend a good site for streaming tv shows while outside the US?

I’m a little hesitant to use BitTorrent, though the Netherlands has a policy of not pursuing downloaders. I’d really like to find a site so I can stream TV shows from back home. Particularly (and I’m a little embarrassed to admit it) the new season of True Blood.

Can anyone recommend either a site I don’t know about or an easy way to use a proxy server of some sort to access US-based streaming services?

The risk of picking up a virus from the advertisements on streaming sites is very high. And it is no more legal than torrenting. Unfortunately, HBO will not let you stream from outside the US.

I haven’t tried this, but wouldn’t a proxy site work to make it look like you’re viewing from the US ? That way you’d get the real deal without the hazards of other grey-market solutions.
