TV programs in China? |

Believe it or not, China has thousands
of TV stations, national, provincial and local. While
Beijing local cable TV network offers around 60
channels, with over 10 CCTV channels, one “Satellite TV
Station” from each province and some Beijing local
channels like BTV-Beijing TV Stations. Nationally only
two channels are broadcasted in English, such as CCTV-4
and CCTV-9. There are no international channels in this
cable TV package ( in fact it’s the only package
available). Subscription to all these channels costs RMB
216 for a year. Some good hotels and apartment buildings
offer their residences int’l channels via independent
dish systems, most likely the channels are HBO Asia,
Star Movies, CNN, BBC World, DW-TV, NHK, TV5, Star
Sports, ESPN, maybe more channels like AXN, Disney, NGC.
It’s different from place to place. You can ask the
property owner or your agent what channels are you going
to have and how much you should pay before you move in.
While some serials and latest Hollywood movies DVD are
available everywhere in the city. I do find some latest
serials from NBC or CBS like Sex and the City, CSI, 24,
Everybody Loves Raymond…It requires some experiences and
luck to find good quality ones, though. If you still
prefer to watch some “real/live” int’l TV stuff,
personal dish seems to be a practical option. Satellite
TV has exploded in popularity in the last few years.
Gone are the days when satellite TV meant installing a
huge expensive dish on the rooftop. Instead, drive
through any neighborhood and you're likely to see small
gray dishes clinging to rooftops or balconies pointed to
the sky, ranging from 0.45m in diameter to 1.5m in
diameter. While most of the dishes are around 0.55m in
diameter, depending on which way it’s facing. To install
a personal satellite dish seems to be a good idea.
1. You are not living in a building with some existing
int’l TV channels while you still prefer them.
2. You want more int’l TV channels/options.
3. You want better picture and sound quality over cable. |

Be careful of dealers’tricks |
| |
Some not-so-honest dealers may play
tricks on your access card and/or receiver. Most common
ones are like: 1. Subscription time shortage (legit
subscription) 2. Giving you a one shot receiver/card
then disappear. Some even took away the receiver from
customer’s home by telling them that they need to
rewrite the card or something like that before they
disappear. 3. No satisfactory after-sales services or
charge customers each time even though they promised
free services before. So make sure you are dealing with
an honest person. |
