Will the ABC Player work abroad or will it be blocked by ABC based on the IP address?
 
Mine was blocked on a US flight -- apparently it thought I was somewhere international.

So no, i don't think it will work internationally.
 
And that's the reason everyone should invest in a slingbox.

I use my slingbox (hook it up Witt my DVR/cable box), and can access all my shows anywhere in the world, live or taped.

I never have to worry about any limitations.

It's blocked. But you can get round that by using a VPN based in the US. I bought one from StrongVPN, and it works great for using the ABC player here in the UK, and also Hulu.
