    See the following link for schedule.
    http://www.nba.com/schedules/international_nba_tv_schedule.html

    As far as I know, there is no English programming from CCTV5, since it is a national channel for audience in China.

    Edit: I check their schdule, there is no more Rockets game this week. I will post it when they have Rockets' game on. The strange thing is: according to their schedule there is no Rockets's game the entire week yet I watched the Jazz game on coolstream. So I will just check during the game time to test my luck.

    CCTV-5 is the Chinese version of ESPN. They broadcast NBA games most of which feature YAO and the Rockets. I was wondering if somebody knows the schedule of Rockets games on CCTV-5. I went to their website but the programming was in Chinese. In a previous thread somebody said that they knew the programming and when Rockets games are on. I was hoping to get some help with that.

    Just flip on coolstream at game time, pick the the station with most viewers. You have nothing to lose that way.

    According to the NBA website CCTV5 is not broadcasting any more games this season. They show games every week though, so I doubt that it's true. Can anybody confirm if they're showing tonight's game or any other game of the Rockets?

    I went to CCTV website to check again, they are not broadcasting this game today, instead they are broadcasting soccer. You know soccer is more popular in everywhere of the world except north america and it's freaking Brazil. ;) Well, you can just double check during the game time to make sure.

    However, i bet you can watch suns and sixers game on espn through coolstreaming tonight (didn't double check, so don't hold your breath), if you don't have espn on your TV.

    IIRC, CCTV5 broadcast NBA games on Tue, Wed, Sat and Sun.
    (Chinese time)

    On those dates, if there is a rockets game, they will show the rocket game, if rockets don't play on that day, it will be some other game.

    Just got a news. CCTV5 will broadcast New Orleans @ Houston on Apr. 01. The original schedule is Sacramento@Cleveland, but they changed the schedule because a lots of Houston fans want Houston games. ;)

    From the Sohu YaoMing forum, someone heard it from the previous NBA broadcasting. It seems that CCTV5 hold a poll and the fans can vote which game to broadcast. And no doubt it is the Houston game. I am not very sure about this because the current schedule on CCTV5 website is still Sacramento@Cleveland. But it doesn't hurt to give it a try.:p
