I tried out Qiyi a little bit and I think the quality you get from it is in between that of Souhu and PPTV, which is not bad (the video isn't as good as Souhu but at least I don't have a problem reading the subtitles). I hope this post will be informative for other forum users, but if anyone has any recommendations I'd be happy to hear them. Right now my strategy is to use PPTV for reality shows and Souhu for scripted shows (since the video quality of PPTV is sometimes bad enough it affects my ability to read subtitles). 搜狐视频HD also works fine, but I think it only streams video (this seems to be confirmed by their App Store page, which claims that the next version will have a download feature).
Now I'm starting to use PPTV, which has disappointed me in the past, but to my knowledge is the only other video app that allows you to download videos. I really liked it because the quality was very good for scripted shows and it allowed you to completely download episodes locally before watching them. At the suggestion of John from Sinosplice, I've been using QQ Live HD (now renamed to 腾讯视频HD), but it recently stopped working (I live in the US). For those who have iPads, what apps are you using to watch Chinese TV? I see quite a few of these video watching apps on App123 but it's time-consuming to try them all.
