    TV options?

    I'm interested to find out some info on the TV channel options available in Hong Kong. Are cable and satellite TV both available? How many US channels available? Any American sports available (ESPN)?

    2 Engish Channels + 2 Chinese channels on the airwaves
    Cable TV -- on http://www.cabletv.com.hk
    Now Broadband TV is an alternative -- on http://www.nowbroadbandtv.com
    ESPN -- Asian feeds with diminished coverage of US events

    To clarify diminished coverage of US events: NBA, and big golf and tennis events if they happen to be sited in the US, do get reasonable coverage in HK among those channels, while baseball, football (American variety; note it's the original soccer variety which rules here), and hockey (ice variety) much less.

    See http://www.geoexpat.com/forum/showth...5&pagenumber=1

    Installation, basic channels and converter are free as long as you remain a netvigator subscriber.
