    Right now I'm living outside the US and really miss shows like "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel. They have episodes available on the website but the videos are restricted to the US. I'm wondering if there is a way to view these videos on the Mac. I've been reading about proxy servers and tried a program called Hotspot Shield with some success (it allowed me to install the player on Discovery's site but video didn't show up for some reason.. maybe it was offline at the time.. not sure). So basically I'm just wondering if any of you guys know of a way to view these location restricted sites on the Mac.

    Thanks!
