TVB Anywhere is a digital pay-TV and e-commerce platform introduced by Hong Kong's Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) in 2016, designed specifically for international viewers. It delivers TVB channel programming through both set-top boxes and mobile applications, focusing on the Overseas Chinese demographic.
The set-top box offering is accessible in the majority of countries outside mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Vietnam, the United States, and Canada. Meanwhile, the mobile application, TVBAnywhere+, serves all global markets except for mainland China, Hong Kong, Canada, the United States, and Vietnam.
Background
Before launching TVB Anywhere, TVB provided regionalized platforms such as TVB Europe and TVB USA. To address the challenges posed by unauthorized OTT set-top boxes and illegal streaming services internationally, TVB introduced TVB Anywhere. This platform has since superseded satellite transmissions previously available via TVB Europe and TVB Australia.
Within Hong Kong, a similar service exists in the form of myTV SUPER, which operates alongside TVB’s free-to-air channels.
On 26 October 2018, TVB Anywhere extended its reach to Singapore as a subscription-based video-on-demand (SVOD) service. Subsequently, on 7 April 2020, it launched in the United States under the name TVB Anywhere USA, offering live channels from Jadeworld and on-demand content tailored for American audiences.
