This is one area that is very challenging with customers. I can't speak for recordings of live TV and whether you can watch that remotely or not. If you can record a football game locally and record it, why couldn't you watch it later from anywhere?
I will say that internationally it's much more difficult. Netflix and other services doesn't work internationally. We did a house in Costa Rica and had to install a completely separate network that has a dedicated VPN connection back to the US to allow any of their streaming apps to work in a foreign country. Only the streaming devices that are used by the homeowner are connected to this separate connection.
