The apps I'm using works. you might want to try out their free service first. You can get the hide-my-ip apk from playstore & smart DNS in page 1.

Actually you don't need to used Chinese server address to watch China channels. If the apk you are having is not compatible with these VPN servers. It might due to your STB hardware limitation.

Some apk is pretty sensitive because I faced the same problem. but if I used other apps that is also using iqiyi, youku link. It works.

That's a lot of free VPN in playstore. NO harm to give it a try. Maybe you'll find one might work for you?

but free servers has it's own limitation. "speed"

If you wanted to try some Chinese apk. you can get it here. http://down.znds.com/new/

That's a lot that actually is very useful, get 魔力视频TV版 because these app used a lot of different sources, that's included iqiyi, youku, CIBN, LETV etc..... to link the Live TV channels, dramas & Movies.
