I live in shenzhen and I bought my dream satellite system from a company in Dong Guan and it has been working for one year now. I use to build & install big satellite systems for the us military back in 1979 but our systems were a lot more complicated because we could transmit and receive. Now I am semi retired and I would not mind selling and installing the systems here in shenzhen or any other place if needed. I just need to find a good souse to buy the systems whole sell. The place in Dong Guan does not seem to want to deal with me I think because they don't speak English. Anyone have any suggestions you can email me at limobus50K@yahoo.com

I live in shenzhen and I bought my dream satellite system from a company that comes from Dong Guan which is only a 25 minute train ride away. My system has been working for one year now. I have never been to there place but they put there flyer under my door. I can't remember but I think I paid $1800 for the system and 1200 for a additional receiver but don't quote me on that.

Card Updating Service is the special service provided by Angel satellite company, aiming to solve the "Philippine Dream Satellite" system updating problem and the card wreck problem under normal use. These two problems are quite common among customers. Customer who has purchased this service will receive an immediate updating notification after the Dream System Updating. And we will go to customers' home and offer the new card exchange service immediately after the Satellite System Decoded Successfully. Within the service time, customer can change a nonservicable or damaged smart card, which is not caused by personal factors, for a new one freely. We will transact the card exchange service in the next day after we receive the notice at customers' home. http://www.tvinshanghai.com/CardService.htm

After suffering through the same problem of constantly chasing updated cards from or original satellite installer, we decided to give another company a call. The new company installed a card writer into the back of our computer (only cost 100 yuan). So now, every time the reception goes down, we can just update the card ourselves, no hassle. The number of the guy we used is 13916936489/021-51699262. Good luck.

While other people are commenting on phone cards, TV hookups, etc. I'm interested in what's with those people handing out cards who run from the police and won't be photographed. I didn't see many in Pudong, but there are lots in Xujiahui and other places in Puxi. How do they earn money? Who pays them? I don't even know what the cards are for because I spend most of my time refusing them.

I spend 1-2 weeks a month in Shanghai for work, and I've been using a Slingbox linked to my cable TV in the US for a few months with great success. If you have a friend in the states willing to let you plug a $200 box into their cable outlet and internet service, it's great. The video isn't perfect (digitalization) and you have to watch on your PC (Mac version coming soon, but it's cheap. The plus is that because I use the Slingbox in Shanghai, I'm using it at really weird hours back in California so it doesn't upset anyone's internet connectivity.

Hi Dan. No, you can buy the legal subscription from the satelitle service in the Philipines, so it is legal in that sense, but 8000 RMB / year is alot to pay for the upcmoing baseball season. You can say it is illegal in that it is not a approved service in mainland.

Have you ever heard of something called Slingbox? It lets you hook it up to a TV in the States, and you can watch whatever is being watched on that TV anywhere in the world on your computer. You can even record stuff and watch it later.

@ryan: That's good info ... but the satellite isn't worth that much money to me. I wonder what is meant by "licensed." Still illegal, right? @andrew: Yeah, I use MLB.com for audio. But I can't watch on my computer and do work on my computer at the same time. (And I think my fiancee would like the satellite back on for reasons other than baseball.) @donkey: This sounds promising. Sounds like what I'm looking for. I'm just prepared for them to tell me that the device doesn't work with Macs.

Just sign up for mlb.com, most days it works well and if things are slow you can always just listen to the audio, not as good as tv but excellent in the background......

at my cousin's house in new york, what they managed to do is download a program that automatically decodes for you. before they would have to look up new codes and manually input them in order to recover their signals, but now they don't, it does it automatically, so they have like all the channels in the universe. i would suggest that there might be a solution online?

Brian is an American, runs McApple Satelite and says he gets licensed service (as well bootleg) that will niot be turned off. His office is in Chang Ning District. On Lou Shan Guan Lu. Tel: 5272 1506 or call 139 1704 7861. He'll hook you up, but licesended is going to cost you, he sends regualr email updates on teh service, here is a recent one: As mentioned before, if you really are fed-up with losing TV every 6 weeks or so, then we can offer the Real System with 1 year viewing card. (less the time it takes to get from the Philippines) For 8500Rmb but discounted to 6000Rmb if you return your existing copy viewing card and decoder. That is we are giving you back the original cost of the box and card but not the dish and installation, which you will still need. Each year a new card will cost 3500Rmb. email for more deatils.

@rick: typed in the number and got "Invalid Code!" @simon: "No right" seems to be ok to receive programs. I'm not sure what you mean by that, because I only get "No Right" when I can't get reception. Can you explain what you meant?

I'm from the Philippines bro and I'm using the same setup. Only difference is, we don't use cards over here. Try pressing Menu and key in "16885" , if some kind of menu comes up, get back to me and maybe I can tell you how to fix it.
