You can't stream any DirecTV services outside of the USA.

If you have the 2nd generation Genie (HR44) or higher, you can temporarily copy (30 days) recordings to a mobile device (smart phone or tablet) to watch on the go. An option to load up on some programming before traveling out of country, or even in country if you will be somewhere with poor to no internet service.

I wonder if you could use a proxy.

They're not illegal, but depending on how you use them, they may not necessarily be legal or within the terms and conditions of whatever you're trying to do.
