Suzhou Expat - The expatriate portal in China

There are several points you should know!

Firstly, which channels do you prefer? Because there are many different satellite channels that are bundled into a variety of packages in advance, you don`t have right to choose the programs you likes from different company mixing together. Of course, you can delete some channels in your favorite list so you don't see them each time you switch channels.

Secondly, the pirated or legal edition you prefer will directly affect the fee you will pay and the receiving effect.

Apart from the hotel of the big international community. The principle said that it will be allowed to installed the legal edition of Satellite TV if the foreign resident s of this community reach to or above 70% of total residents. The management office can apply for installation.

If you choose the legal edition, you have to pay subscription each year. each subscription card has a serials number (bar code) on it. The company manages subscription through this serial number system. When your subscription expired, your system stops working until the company receive your subscription for the next 12 months. Two channels are free, which means when your system expires, you only have 4UTV and TBN.

Without doubt, pirated edition is more cheaper than the legal, currently most of the satellite TV is pirated edition in China. which essentially steal the signal transmitted by satellites that are intended for legitimate receivers, are technically illegal in China. That said, one look at any apartment block in an upscale or expatriate compound will provide ample proof that the enforcement of the laws that prohibit pirated receivers is observed more in the breach than in practice.

Finally, satellite content providers continue to be plagued by the unquestionably black-market devices, which "pirate" or "steal" their signals. There are legitimate subscription packages and pirate/copy systems on the market now. When you find a dish installation service flier you may see different pirate system offers. Whether to go with a "pirate" system or not has never been an easy choice to most customers. From a typical intellectual property standpoint, it's easy to understand that if the majority of viewers were to use pirate systems, then the satellite companies would eventually go out of business and nobody would have any programs at all at that point. Blocking or otherwise preventing pirate-system reception is a major task for the commercial satellite broadcasting companies. However, it requires better technologies and stronger financial support.
