    Try Glodok Plaza, much bigger and cheaper...

    i use Indovision. they get their broadcasts from Singaporean-based Asian versions of Fox. so i end up with prudish broadcasts of Mad Men with blurred out bodies and shit. they even truncated bits off scenes (and you only realize someone's done it with someone after they act weird around each other).
    Kicked out Indovision as soon as I had the chance. It's HBO Asia so on First Media these series like Spartacus are also toned town, even on the gore. So prefer all series on DVD/BluRay. But they did have Euro 2012 (RCTI) and Champions League so that is for many a big plus of Indovision (alternative is antenna on your roof).

    they did. both RCTI and MNC Sports had Euro 2012. MNC Sports (available on Indovision) had better color/image quality compared to RCTI (accessible to both antenna users and Indovision subscribers), though. i switched between both channels and noticed the colors were kind of dull on RCTI, and they had more rokok/kopi/motor ads (whereas MNC Sports filled in ad time with team profiles, general team analysis, and league ads).

    On the web I don't know.

    But if you fancy eating hotdogs at 7 AM, it is broadcast live on ESPN (Indovision and First Media):

    07:0007:30
    08:00
    08:30
    09:00
    09:30
    Live
    MLB Regular Season 2012 (F)
    Match: Detroit Tigers vs. Baltimore Orioles

    You can record/tape them of course. (Before you ask: type 'recording Indovision' in the search box of the forum.)

    No problem to get MLB on the Apple TV. There is no need to use a VPN like on netflix as I guess it doesn't care if you have a non-US IP address. I had the complete MLB season last year for i think $99 but didn't renew this year as I found I didn't watch it too often. You can get games live but because of the time difference you usually end up watching recorded games and its just not the same watching a recorded sporting event.
