Today I have been messing around with TVU, a video utility that has a wide variety of television channels from around the world. I mention it here for a couple of reasons.

1. It has a good selection of Chinese language television, with all the CCTVs and channels from Hong Kong and Taiwan. I have been looking for more sources for listening practice, and it is excellent for that. Plus I miss those Korean soap operas…
2. For you entertainment staved foreigners living in China, it has Comedy Central, Sci-Fi channel, a channel that just shows episodes of Family Guy and various news channels. I don’t know if it will actually work for you or not, but it is worth a try.

It also seems spyware and free, at least according to Softpedia and some other sites, and that is more than you can say for a lot of these online television players.
