So how can you watch all that from Cyprus? The answer is VPN (Virtual Private Network)! All you need is a subscription to a VPN service which you can use to change your IP to a USA, UK (or any other country) IP, and in this way watch content that was intended to be watched only within the borders of that country. The best VPN Service I found is StrongVPN. I am using their "4 city Special PPTP" package which costs $55 per year and gives you a choice between a USA or a UK Server. If you want to just try it out you can get a monthly package for $7
Setting up the VPN on your computer is easy, instructions can be found here for all major operating systems. As long as you have a decent broadband connection a good VPN service is all you need to stream all that content right on your PC. I have a 4Mbit internet connection and that is enough for DVD quality video. If you want to stream full HD then you need a faster connection, 8Mbit should do.
Getting that video content on your TV is as simple as connecting your computer to it. If you have a decent laptop you can just connect it to your TV every time you want to watch a movie on a bigger screen and you are done. But if you want to always have netflix, Hulu, iPlayer etc available on your TV then you can build or buy a Home Theater PC (HTPC) which will always be connected to your TV. More about HTPCs in an upcoming post
And in yet another post I will write about how you can use the same VPN service to secure your internet connection when on public wi-fi. 
P.S. Netflix offers one month free trial. If you don't get this directly when you go there then go through this: http://www.netflix.com/revision3 ...just be sure to be connected with your VPN first.
When you stream a movie from Netflix you are not "making and selling copies". I have a regular account on netflix on my name paying with my credit card. VPN Services are 100% legitimate companies also. What I describe in this thread has absolutely nothing to do with p2p file sharing and nothing at all with dreambox. The level of illegality of doing what I describe here is the same as going to the USA and buying a region 1 DVD and then bringing it and playing it in Cyprus (in your own home ... not making and selling copies of it).
