I found out that Chinese internet TV program called" 3TV VIP Vista 7.01" broadcasts NHK channel in internet.I even had opportunity to watch their live broadcast in Sopcast free of charge when they evidently tested their channels there. Program itself is not free, it costs 280 Hong Kong dollars (about 36 US$), and there is many popular channels.You can download it, try, then register and buy it here.They say that they accept international VISA/Master cards.

They assure that its only 1 time charge and after you bought it ,you can watch it free , also future update versions are free. Their help and user manual is here, but their English is even worse than mine ,isnt it?:)

I downloaded and installed it, plays promo clips and some wellknown Chinese channels fine, but You cannot watch NHK or other popular channels without registering and paying.
I havent opportunity to buy it yet, but I certainly shall do it in november , when my new paychecks will arrive.
Please dont consider this post as advertising, suggestion or recommendation, I just told You what I find out.There are many sumofans who cannot watch bashos via their cable or satellite TV (myself included), and who are not satisfied poor quality of official NSK livestream.
P.S Please excuse my poor English ,I was never any good in learning foreign languages.
