How to get Taiwanese Channels??

[sammyantha]

Please Please could anyone help.

My mum has just arrived to the UK, I have Sky, thinking it provided more than 2 mandarin speaking channels!!!
I am willing to buy all necessary equipment and register with the best to get my mum channels from Taiwan.
She really likes, CITV, TVBS, ET and anything else that is from taiwan.
Please could some one tell me the step by step process to what I need and who to contact. I really want to make her stay here as comfortable as possible!!

Thanks.

Sam

There really is very little indeed.

All I can find are Da-Ai 2, Hwazan and MAC Tv (All Free to Air) plus ETTV News America (Subscription Channel) all on the Telstar Satellite.

I dare say there might be one or two more worthwhile Channels I haven't unearthed, but I very much doubt it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one not finding much out there tivu, I will keep looking. Just going to try the web site now Turok.

Me too - 'cos I'm curious!

Edit: Ah, neat. Possibilities there, perhaps - If you can get the Site to work. Every time I select Taiwan, it jumps back to Afghanistan .............

TVBS is Hong Kong isnt it?? Anyway theres a TVB package on 9E- contact TVB Europe for details.

ok, I have tried all suggested but unfortunatly, no luck. vtuner.com is more a radio channel and yes TVBS is a Hong Kong company but they have taiwanese discussions, news and channels. I have yet to find any that broadcast in uk.

I'm sorry my earlier pessimism seems to have been justified

Nothing available on satellite over here but certainly web based streaming

scroll down to Taiwan


I have just tried a couple and they seem to be very slow connecting, suffering from this DDOS attack problem, unless it is my end

TVBS do broadcast into the UK - just not via Sky - they use a different satellite - so you would need some extra equipment

TVBS Europe
TVBN
TVB Entertainment News
TVB Classic
TVB Lifestyle

I really do hope you aren't suffering from problems with your end
