Why do I need to live in the US again?

So I am currently watching the Suns-Lakers Game 3. I'm watching TNT on Tucson's Cox Cable. But I'm in Rio de Janeiro (where only games on ESPN and ABC are on TV). How do I do it? A friend's SlingBox. Basically the way it works is that it hooks up to a Tivo or TV or something and then you access it via the Internet.

Today I also made Skype calls and scheduled a palm-tree trimmer in my old house in Tucson.

Why shouldn't we all just live on a beach in Thailand again? Go Suns.
