TVB Anywhere is an online pay-TV and shopping platform launched by Hong Kong television station Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) for non-Hong Kong audience in 2016.[1][2] It streams content from its TV channel via set-top box and mobile application. The service targets Overseas Chinese.[3][4][5]

The set-top box service supports all overseas countries except for Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, USA and Vietnam ; the mobile application named TVBAnywhere+ supports all overseas countries except for Mainland China, Hong Kong, USA and Vietnam .[6]

Background[]

Before TVB Anywhere, TVB launched similar products such as TVB Europe and TVB USA. Due to the use of illegal over-the-top (OTT) video set-top boxes and pirated video-streaming services in overseas markets, TVB launched TVB Anywhere to stop such actions.[2] Since the launch of TVB Anywhere, it also replaces the satellite broadcasts by TVB Europe and TVB Australia.

For users in Hong Kong, myTV SUPER is a similar service, or they could watch TVB's free-to-air television channel.

On 26 October 2018, TVB Anywhere has launch in Singapore. But, there is no live TV and only available as a SVOD.[7]

On 7 April 2020, TVB Anywhere has launched in USA as TVB Anywhere USA aimed at American audiences with live TV from Jadeworld's Channels and streaming video on demand.[8]
