Q: Recommendations for satellite TV?
Bored to tears by CCTV-9. Anyone have any recommendations on which providers are best; what traps to avoid; what channels are available, and, of course, how much it might cost.

Well, the Filippino feed, Dream TV, I think is the best for native English speakers. I got the dish & box for about 1500RMB. The only problem is that it is a pirate system and the card needs to be replaced about once every 3 months.
And about every 6 months the original provider goes out of business and opens under a new name. So if you do find them to replace your broken card, they will insist on you buying a new box along with it for around 1000RMB.
Nice scam. But... It does allow me to get my Mythbusters fix. Of course, recently I have found just about all the movies and shows I want to watch online, so I barely use my satellite feed anymore.
I asked the same question a few weeks ago. Here's the link http://answers.echinacities.com/question/20963
