Just paid for a month of ExpressVPN so we can watch Olympics from inside China via CCTVx. Only can find Hong Kong ... and the speeds are too slow to be useful. Anybody: 1. . . . . know a VPN location inside China that we can connect to and maybe help things along. Or, 2. . . accomplishing this some other way? I think Dish has a China package (no, I don't have Dish). Thanks for any tips, Greg

Hi, My fiancée and I are getting close to our move to the states and she starting thinking about being able to watch/stream Chinese TV while we’re in the states. From what I gather, all the websites are geolocked. Does anyone have any experience with this? Are there any good vpns with servers in China or things of that nature? Thanks!!

Anybody else here using TV Pad?
True Blue posted a topic in Communications, Planes, Shipping & Money
TV pad (a device a little like Apple tv is now blocked by US government and piracy laws. Before we could get 200+ channels from China and Hong Kong and Taiwan for free. They were sued and a cease and desist order was put in to interupt service in mid November. What do you use now to get programs from the motherland? TB -
Thinking of cancelling "Great Wall Package" at Dish Network and getting italkbb tv. We already have italkbb VOIP service and Lily says the TV will be much cheaper than Dish which I am currently paying 22.99 per month for. I can't figure the price on italk's website, so does anyone else have it? If so, about what is the price per month? Also, if you have it, how do you like it? Thanks, Hank

Well the wife just updated her QQ to QQ2013 Worked great for a day then all the blote ware came into play. My main server/system was full of spam and crap. Took me almost three hours to clean out the shit that came with the new QQ2013 Come to find out that QQ2012 is no longer supported and you must upgrade to QQ2013. It appears my wife was using QQ to watch Chinese TV with the QQ2012 She had no problems then but now with the new QQ, No dice. tons of spam! As with most of our wife's they like to watch there Chinese TV. I guess my question is, Does anyone know of a good web site to stream Chinese TV with out all the crap and spam? If we keep going down the road were going down now the wife will have my company computer in the trash. I can not have my business computer crash. I/We need (more the wife than me) Chinese TV on the internet. Mike

My wife uses several free IPAD apps to watch Chinese TV and movies on her IPAD. We have the IPAD to TV cable from the Apple store but it is apparently a hassle for her to hook up as she likes to flip channels and hooking the IPAD to the TV requires that she get up out of her chair every time she wants to change channels. (like we all did before the invention of the remote control). Seems a shame that my wife spends much of her time huddled on a chair in the kitchen watching Chinese TV and movies in her IPAD when she could watch them in the living room on a comfy chair on a large screen TV. Our cable only has 2 Chinese channels and they cost $35 a month with some package and my wife can get lots of Chinese, Taiwanese and Hond Kong TV channels free on the IPAD. Apple makes a product called APPLE TV. It sells for $99. We had heard that it can stream "most things" on an IPAD or IPHONE to a relatively new TV. Our TV is a year old and comes with all the bells and whistles for smart TV although no 3D (which is OK since there isn;'t much 3D content out there and we saved $300 from the same TV with 3D). The guys at the local Apple store could not tell us much - other than APPLE TV works great with LED TV's, with some LCD and plasma TVs but generally does not work and you will have lots of trouble with tube and rear projection TVs. As for what content you can stream, they said Youtube and Netflicks (which I can already get with my smart TV without the Apple TV box) and APPLE TV "should but not always" work with many other apps". I asked if we could try one of the Chinese TV apps in the Apple store but they were unable to get it to work. They were also unable to get Youtube to work (which even other customers at the Apple store said works great for them at home). Even after they got several of the kids from the "genius bar" they had problems but the "head genius" (he looked to be about 20 while the other kids looked high school age - hahaha!) blamed it on the mall's internet feed. I don't know. But that was enough of a red flag that I decided to tell them I want to do more research. Hence my question to all here. Anyway, does anyone out there have APPLE TV? Do you like it? Have you tried it with Chinese apps? Does it work streaming sound and picture to your TV? I do recommmend the IPAD to TV cable with these reservations - the connection always needs to be wiggled to get it to lock in, it is a short cable so if you have anything larger than a 20 inch tv you will be sitting far enough from your tv that you will likely be getting out of your chair anytime you want to change the volume, mute it or change a channel. But it does bring in high def continent to your TV based on whatever movie or TV IPAD apps that you have. I am not sure if using the IPAD to TV cable would work with streaming content from TV apps on an IPHONE, but it is the same connector so I think it might. Thanks for any responses. TB

Yuan found this site thru QQ http://find.qire123.com/vod-search-kw-%E8%80%81%E5%8F%8B%E8%AE%B0.html It has a lot of tv shows and movies that have English and Chinese or at least Chinese subtitles on them. The friends show allows the speed of the text to be slowed down in 10 percent increments. Yuan is watching this to help hew with her American slang. Plus we can plug the computer to the tv and I do not have to explain everything that is happening in the movie. -

Ok I need your help in getting a new phone for me..... I got Hui a IPhone 4s but she did not like it because you can not watch Chinese movies on it from the websites since it dose not work with flash. So we are returning that phone and I will give her my Thunderbolt and I will get the razr Maxx. But now I have a problem with the thunderbolt.... It will connect tot the Chinese website but when you go to watch a movie a warning comes up that my ip address is in the USA so it won't play the movie... Anyone know a work around for it? Or a website here that has the movies? The site we go to is www.qire123.com

Since my Lao Po came to USA we watch less and less cable TV. I pay $90 a month for cable + internet bundle so here is a big monthly bill we could reduce. There are no Chinese channels or premium (e.g. HBO) channels in my bundle. To go there would put us in the $150 a month range. Lao Po likes American movies and I know Net flicks has some sort of $10 a month all you can eat deal. Also she will like Chinese TV (mainland, much more than Taiwan). I like NFL football, CNN and nature/history/science channels like the Discovery channel, the History channel, the Travel channel. Has anyone found a better solution? I was thinking that with a fast internet (might cost $50 a month unbundled) + Net Flicks ($10 a month), I could cut this bill from $90 to $60 (a 50% reduction) and perhaps actually end up with better service. I know I need to cut expenses but I'm a little afraid of long term commitments for Satellite TV. Experiences? If you went the satellite route please include all your expenses (e.g. we have 2 TVs so if you need an extra decoder box or installation charge please include that) and the length of commitment. I'm leaning toward a computer based solution though as it may be cheaper (cheap = good) and involve less long term commitment. Thanks in advance. True Blue

Thanks a bunch Dan. I read in one of your posts about Yu watching PPTV. So the nice guy that I am, I put it on my laptop for Fen. She watched CCTV CNY programming and since yesterday my laptop has been playing a Chinese soap nonstop. 25 episodes, about an hour each. She is onto #14 now. Sigh.

Hi my wife speaks Cantonise and she is coming here in 23 days I have noticed that the Dish network and Direct TV both have Chinese channels I was wondering what one was better? The lady at our condo assocation says it is against our bylaws to have a satalite dish however when I went to the SEC website it said it was against the law for anybody to prevent you from having a satalite dish. The 2 other options online tv the only sight I have been able to find is www.iTV.com they have 80 Chinese channels however there is alot of advertising and the download is slow so it has to stop and load every so often. They also have there advertisements or logo on the screen at all times. Netflicks is my other option. There website only lets you browse a few thing so I cannot tell if they have many streaming movies with Chinese language or subtitles. If anybody has any info about this it would be helpful. Thanks
