I bought the unit for my parent in law. They used it to watch TV program from China. I don't know if it can receive local channels. The signals aren't very good.

I would check out : http://www.tvfool.com/ first,,, If I remember San Jose south od SF primarily up the Bay I would think it would be OK. I am high on a ridge behind 3 others, with tall evergreen trees All OVER. Get very Good reception. But take your time and check tv fool. Amazon will take it back i think within 30 days. Check on that first too.

Nope. Unfortunately this box is geared to global use, not very American friendly. Showbox would be the closest app to channel surfing. Instead you should... Get a fire tv stick and run Sling TV through that for 20 dollars a month. Very worth it.

Yes. Just install the app called NuFengShiPin n u will see all live TV broadcasts from HKG, Taiwan, n China.

Just choose a channel that local radio doesn't use. They are all the same quality.

You will have a large selection of channels, from Arabic to Turkish & between some Asian, also a French channels, sincerely, you will be happy if you buy it, because it's much better then Dish or others. So just spend some money (no more bills) and it's will be yours.

I tried Hulu a few months ago in Korea, but always got a screen saying that streaming content was only currently available in the US. Plasma screen shouldn't be a problem, but you'll need to watch streaming video from sites that are available worldwide.

No. Most of the channels are mainland China. However, if you want Hong Kong, Korean and Japanese channels you should purchase TVPad.

There is a great forum for all kinds of WDTV information and help. They also have an area for hacking the player and using to play additional formats - including network support! Its at WDTVforum.com

Not much local stations, seems to be radum major stations ABC, CBS,ect. around the U.S. You do get a lot of shows from HBO Showtime, ect. I mean a lot! But make sure befor you buy one that you have a very strong wifi provider, I learned the faster the wifi the better the quality, and will not buffer as much.

Yes, this unit will allow you to receive local programming. My only complaint (and it may be just my location in Columbus, OH) is that I'm not able to get a signal for any local channels while my car is in motion--- there is actually just one channel that is viewable while in motion and I believe it is transmitted over an ATSC signal. All of the local channels however are viewable when my car is stopped.

I could never figure out how to find the channel so we use a Roku. Sorry, I know that didn't answer your question.
