you should try vpn, there are many of them but most of them not working well (stop and start every 10-20 seconds) in hongkong as their servers are far away in uk. My friend introduced me to UKTVHK.com and it works well for me at home. I watched Doctor Who yesterday night. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if ukustvhk.com is available (or blocked) in mainland China?

I'm using Astrill vpn, it's super fast and works perfectly here in Dongguan :D
