Hi Taichiseal Charts,

i tried using pptv as well but i dont seem to get the same generated list of america drama as you have shown in your screenshots. Did you sign up as a member or something?

Another friend had the same exact problem. He set the filters same as mine but could only get a list of 21 dramas. I have no idea why that is. Will post here if I find out how to get around this. Problem is I can't seem to replicate your problem to even get started.

Taichiseal> lucky you i guess!
I tried on my android smart hp and ipad and also generate the same few english movies. maybe the server which they store the shows were offline. But thanks for recommending the app!

Do keep trying. When you get it to work you will be able to find almost any series there is. I was overjoyed to find all the old episodes of Seinfeld. Btw, I didn't pay for anything but I did register myself.

Taichiseal> thanks man, i would try register if not for my F- chinese. lol. but i shall try nontheless. :)

Bingo. Not sure how but after re-booting, I managed to get only 21 drama titles under 电视剧, when set to "按评分".

So I went back to "按热门". Let it load. Then make sure that you can get more than 21 titles first.

Then back to "按评分", everything back to unlimited access as per my screenshots.

My old iPad1 is now my dedicated TV/Movie box.

try PPS or LETV, i think it's better, especially can download movie intot your ipad / iphone then watch it even offline

Yes these are all great. Also iQiYi. I only used PPTV here as an example. Do not think free access from Singapore will last forever. At some point they will block these due to licensing issues.

When I first discovered these, I could view the movies on my PC on their equivalent website. Now most of the websites are blocked. Strange that they have not blocked them on iOS Apps yet. Better enjoy now while you can.

I do not like PPS because I can't seem to get the search function to work properly so its a nightmare trying to locate any particular show.
