I can't access those sites for some reason.

It's like SHOW(rhymes with "cow)-SHAH
More like ShiOW-ShiAH if you can slip that extra vowel in there.
X makes the Sh or S sound depending on region in China. I have heard it as more like Sh.
As in xie-xie (thank you) is pronounced shyeh-shyeh. That's a very common phrase for English learners of Chinese, so I was able to find a Youtube video on it. Same sound for X as they say here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tol8N1aJrDo
