Q: Best satellite TV options?

Does anybody here have something where they can get tons of International sports stations, English movies, and so on?

 

I know you can download stuff but looking for something for TV where I can just switch on and watch hundreds of English channels.

 

Any advice?

Thanks

BHGAL, exactly! Anyone with half a brain knows that the govt is actively trying to identify ways foreign TV shows are being broadcast in and shut them down.

Good luck man, hope you find something. If you do, please share.

 

I think you might be wanting to look into VPN and streaming / downloading options though. China seems to be in the process of closing the doors to the outside world again as far as media goes.

If anyone does please don't post it here, it'll be banned a few days later. Remember any thing like this is strictly prohibited (website)

I use an android tv box which provides literally hundreds of foreign and local tv channels with NO  monthly fees and is ready to use straight out of the box and no installation headaches; check out Taobao.

Most of the main news, sports and movie channels are available on these boxes and you just need at least a 10 Mbs internet connection

gunnerdj:

Hmmm, this sounds promising indeed.

Now you just informed the govt of a loophole in their wall of censorship, in a few months when your services magically stop working, look in the mirror.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
