If you want channels that are mostly in English, Dream is the only one that I know of.  The problem is 2-fold.

 

1) The signal comes from the Philippines.  Even in their own country the signal isn't consistent.

 

2) The signal you are getting is pirated.  And satellite companies regularly change their signals to mess with pirates.  The satellite companies call this "gentle encouragement" for people to go out and buy a real subscription.

 

Of course, that is not much help for people outside of the Philippines who couldn't get a real subscription if they wanted to.

I use dream satellite out of the Philippines, but over the holiday I purchased a new flat screen 3D LED TV that has wireless internet capabilities. I have thousands of options now and the only thing I have watched on the satellite is CNN.  I stream TV shows, movies, sports, and documentaries with no problems.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
