danb Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Hi. I would like to know what are some good sites to use to watch TV shows Movies on-line in China. I did a search on this forum but didn't come up with any ideas. I have been trying a couple site:. Tudou, Youkou, Sohu and Iqiyi. I first search for them on line. When the site comes up I will right click my mouse and ask the page to be translated to English. Sometime that works and sometime that don't. I do run into some problems. Sometimes no audio. Also getting VIP previews. They show the first 5 minutes but then the movie freezes up. I think that they are looking for money. I don't know how to pay them via my US computer. Any suggestions on the whole matter? Thank You Danb An Update: I just tried the sites that I mentioned above. It seems like I can access them. I can select a movie or TV show. But that is when things stop. I get the movie screen background but no movie. Just a message in Chinese. Yesterday things were working sometime. Today not at all. Not sure if they were just teasing me yesterday. I will try giving my Lao Po's PC a try and maybe the her Ipad later.

Randy W Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I gave up on Chinese movie sites since they were hard to search (even the English movies), have low resolution (DVD quality at best), and, more recently, have restricted access to foreign movies.

danb Posted December 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Hello. I tried my wife's Ipad. She has a Baidu app on it. There I was able to stumble around and find some movies and T'V shows. It is a little easier to get to them there because I can see film and tv icons. Once I get to the selection they download but are a bit slow. I found the TV show Elementary series on it. Lucy Liu co-stars on that show. A few years ago when I was visiting China I stumbled onto that TV series and started watching it. Funny that I had to come halfway around the world to found a new show to watch!! I enjoy the show but I wish Lucy Liu would have more Chinese/ Chinese American "traits" about her. It would add more to her character and make the show more interesting for me.

Doug Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 We watch Chinese movies every night when school is out of session, it seems. Got a new laptop just for the TV & got sound out of the HdMI with some net suggested setup change. Of course we have dish TV with just the Chinese channels for 27/mo. no more than that. I have netflicks now for Christmas but may cancel. As we watch & do things more shows are added to profile there. Youku Youtube, Sohu & Netflix so far danb. Many have the English subtitles. Honestly I let the 14 yr old figure it all out. She got past the freeze up so quickly when we started this. I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
