Okay I've got all the tools, I've just never done something like this before so I need some help on a high level of what I need to do.

I just moved to the UK from the US and found many of my favorite resources are blocked. The Pirate Bay, Pandora, even Hulu Plus, it was a real let down! I found a work around for TPB but for Pandora and more importantly Hulu Plus, I used those on a daily basis. I can only imagine I'm going to run into other issues as well.

What I'm looking for is a permanent fix. I know I can use proxies, and VPNs for my computers but for devices like my Roku and Xbox I need a solution at the DNS level. I've still got friends and family in the US, and it would be worth the money just to have an internet setup I pay monthly for that I could use to route to the UK like my own private VPN.

The most important thing is I don't want to sacrifice my speed. I've got a router that's got Tomato on it, it's like DD-WRT, which lets me do some really cool tweaks. I know the answer is staring me in the face, I'm just not sure what I need to do how to setup my router to make this happen. If anyone can help, or link me to any resources that would be great!
 
Thanks for that link Scott! Two things.. does it work for your devices like Xbox and Roku? And then do you notice a hit is your speed or is it still pretty fast?
 
Hmm I'm looking at UnBlockUS and issue is I've got a BT Hub 4.0, looks like you're unable to change the DNS settings. Can I simply plug my Tomato router into it and change it's settings, or do I have to replace the BT Hub? I ask because it's really my in-laws, and I don't want to screw up his connection. If I can plug my own thing in I doubt he'll care, but I don't think he want's me replacing his gear.
