How to watch Japanese TV around the world
See this article in Japanese
I will compare how to watch Japanese TV around the world.
Japanease TVs on end of the year and beginning of the year are the best.
This is the most easiest way to watch Japanese comedy, news, or anime programs.
It is the most cheapest monthly rate compared to the other paid programs and it costs $19.95 per month.
The 1 day trial is for free.
If you commit to 6 months then it will be $18.32 per month.
If you commit to 1 year, it will come down to $17.49 per month.
It can not be seen in real time and need to wath the recorded programs but it is diffcult to see real time anyways because of the time difference if you are out of Japan.
In that meaning, JVRental is enough.
The usual UPLOAD takes abour 24 hours but for example, the end of the year and new year special programs are uploaded in 2 to 3 hours.
I heard that Nihon Denshidai is streaming from a Chinese server.
From this link, you are able to see real time Japanease TV for free.
It is a free program so sometime you are not able to see it.
However, I know that this link is being able to see for many years now.
If you want to see Japanease TV for free, or if you just need to see it for a short period of time, or just have to see it in real time, this program might be enough.
This site costs $49.99 per month. It seems to be expensive, but it can record any TV program you like for a week, and also able to watch Japanese TV in real time. You don't need any box or anything and just need a credit card to apply to the service. This is same as JVRental, but if you pay you can watch Japanese TV instantly. It costs twice as JVRental, so honestly the price is expensive.
Tver is a free online website that each Japanese TV stations are participating officially. The best thing here is that the latest drama or TV are there for a limited time and you can watch all of them for free.
However, the most largest challenge is that this website is only able to see if you are accessing from Japan. To get around this, you have to connect to the VPN and make Tver think that you are watching from Japan.
There is also a paid VPN service and free VPN service. I think just a free VPN is OK for watching Tver. I will introduce 2 websites that you can connnect for free. Please try it out, they are both very easy to connect to VPN for free.
VPN Gate Tsukuba University VPN connection server project
You have to install a software called VPN Gate in your PC. This is a very stabled VPN.
Hola Free VPN Proxy Unblocker
Hola is a Google chrome extention and it is easy to install.
However this is not so stabled and have to tryout couple of times when it drops connection.
If you could give me a comment below, I will let you know the detail VPN connecting method.
If you have someone you know in Japan and able to use their internet and hard disk recorder, you can set up Slingbox in Japan and access it from all around the world for free.
You are able to operate the hard disk recorder from anywhere and that is how you can see Japanease TV real time or the recorded TV program. This doesn't require any monthly payment, so if you use this for a long time it is the cheapest.
