I recommend you put a MAC by your TV and create a software VPN from the MAC to your streaming service which allows the rest of your network to not be a VPN.

My two cents.

This is kind of what I was suggesting with the two router solution.
The first router on the modem running dyndns with the cameras port forwarded through it. This would be accessible from outside. This router would be running DHCP.
Another router would hook its WAN port to the first router. It would get DHCPed to the internet. Now run VPN on the second router. Use this router for everything you want tunneled. Since the dyndns was opened with the first router it will be OK for everything forwarded to and from there. Since the second router is VPNed point to point, only those points get altered, not the points in between, like the first router.
I haven't tried this but it seems like it should work the same as a tunnel opened up by a device on the network, except the device is a router.
