China's cctv provides lots of educational shows. It's also well made and closer to my taste. I can buy a internet box to watch it but I don't want to buy and use such a thing so it remains outside my tv watching habit.
Taiwan's PTS and German's DW or even Japan's NHK world, though also educational, are different from cctv.
After two years of trying, the only cctv show I began to watch regularly was the new year gala, and president's new year address. That's when I would bother to connect computer to tv. I also watch Chinese drama that are popular in Taiwan but that's not the same as watching cctv directly.
