How do I watch TV online in china?

what sites can you use to watch TV episodes for free in shanghai?
i want to watch some american tv (it's always sunny, house, etc) but the network sites won't allow me to watch in this region.
thanks!

Answer 1
Unfortunately, Hulu.com does not offer its free TV service outside of the United States. You can't even watch it in Canada.
There used to be a lot of American TV episodes on the Chinese file sharing services (Youku, Tudou), but most were taken down during the last 6 months due to "intellectual property" and "copyright infringement" issues.
Youtube is blocked in China, so no help there.
Your best bets are: A) Buy pirated DVDs in China of your favorite shows (5 to 10 yuan per disc) and watch that way. B) Install satellite TV (costs about 1500 yuan for the HK package)

Answer 2
I'm in China now. I am watching these shows on my computer

HOUSE
GLEE
DEXTER (SHOW)
ENTOURAGE (HBO) (ENTIRE SEASON)
LOUIE
KING OF QUEENS (ENTIRE SEASON)
EAST BOUND and DOWN (HBO)
Penn & Teller Bullshit (SHOW)
Bored To Death (HBO)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
LIE TO ME
COPS
THE COLBERT REPORT
THE DAILY SHOW
AMERICAN IDOL
LAST COMIC STANDING
HELL'S KITCHEN
KITCHEN NIGHTMARES.

and many more...

I use BIT TORRENTS

I down load the show and watch them when I want to. Also it allows me to have an awesome collection of TV show. I also have downloaded 600 Movies.

If you are not familiar with Bit Torrents here is what you do

1. Check out this site... eztv.it/ They have a great up to date releases for TV.
And this... btjunkie.org/ They have Movies, TV, Music and software.

2. You have to download load the Torrent file.

3. You then have to open that torrent file with a program. I use www.vuze.com/
You have to download the program and install it.

You will have to play with the preferences of VUZE.

Torrents are when people share files. The more people who share the faster the download.

Some shows are faster and some are slower. Depends on how many are sharing and downloading.

Most files are AVI files. You should have a program to run that. I use VLC www.videolan.org/vlc/

It a great Video player.

So that's it! I do not even watch TV in CHINA.

Good luck
