Can such device watch those Taiwan variety shows and HK/Korean dramas?

That's what I want to know

Except that my interest is more on the english channels like CBS, ABC, CNN, etc. I'm really fed up with the crap & propaganda that media corp forces us to watch. I'm looking for alternatives.

I've taken a look at Celestial Movie i.e. Shaw, and to be honest plenty of Shaw movies are I think amateurish & would appeal only to uncles who miss the good old days

There are of course a few gems in the collection e.g. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Return to the 36th Chamber etc,.... Many of the Celestial collection are available only as video CD & not DVDs or Blueray. They are also cheap, usually around $10.

Funshion and todou also can use Engish to search and download. But for those why doesnt understand or read Chinese, may not enjoy as much.

I find our Mediacorp has very good English and Chinese programmes. And they have re-runs after re-runs also. So dont have to worry in case u missed it.

I tried viewing the TVB drama on ppstream.com and Tudou.com, both cannot leh...they say only can view in mainland region...

 

[Fishypie]

watch online means use computer to watch? prefer to watch on bigger TV screen leh...

DownLoad from movie sites to externaL hd, and pLay them through a Media pLayer Like WD, which i am using, then
connect it to whatever size of TV you want..but make sure that the Media pLayer supports the movies' format.

Thanks. Just found out how to use china proxy and IDM from google:

"To connect china proxy you need to setup your browser for surfing via proxy server. But first you need a proxy server address (Proxy IP) you may find a list of proxies on the top of this page pick a server address you need. Now you need to configure the web browser using proxy, do follow steps for;

Google Chrome
Go preferences -> options -> choose tab "Under the Hood" navigate to "Netwoork" open "Change proxy settings" -> open "Settings" -> tick a box for "use a proxy server for this connection", now give the proxy address picked from the list into the form, give the port number, "Ok". "
