You'd need to use a vpn / proxy service, so it looks like your ip address is in the US.

I don't use one but I'm sure someone here can recommend a good one.

Thanks for the reply. Right after i posted this i saw the thread about 10 down about almost the same thing. I am going to write abc an email and see if they will open up my ip due to being military. I had this problem with hulu and sent an email and not i can stream hulu, thought it was cool that they did that.

I admire anyone in the Armed forces, blessings and I hope ABC helps you
 
If ABC won't help you, you can follow hideipvpn on twitter or there blog, they give out free US and UK VPN accounts every week. I got on from them this weekend :)
 
I'm in Germany and i use lamnia.co.uk and it works fine. I use the ABC app successfully and on my MBP i can also access Hulu and CBS etc....
 
My father was a Marine. We were stationed in Iwakuni for 6 yrs. I loved it there so I stayed for 10yrs but I've been back in the states since '96. Thinking about going back within the next couple of years. Wouldn't mind spending the rest of my days there.
 
You wouldn't happened to be stationed in Iwakuni would ya?

I sure am!

And wow thanks for all the support, was more expecting to get flamed cause i saw another thread just like mine right after i wrote it. Thanks for all the help. I am going to follow the couple that gives out free ones, would buy one but i am out of here in 4 months!
