roddy Posted August 25, 2004 at 01:21 PM Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 at 01:21 PM Don't know about satellite - didn't think that satellite TV was that easily available in China. Here in Beijing you get 有线电视 which is Cable TV, but it's just the Chinese channels - costs 18Y a month (used to be 12Y). I don't think you can get any international channels through it. Never tried with an arial . . . Roddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunku Posted August 26, 2004 at 11:06 AM Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 at 11:06 AM It probably depends on the setup your landlord has. Mine gives me free cable TV as part of my rent package. I get all of the CCTV channels and then a bunch of random local channels from different parts of China (like Tianjin TV, which is kinda strange to recieve in Kunming, but I have it nonetheless), which amount to about 30 channels all in all. Anyhow, like other parts of the world, there are basic network channels, and then cable, which I presume costs a bit more, although how much more I don't know.
