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 service supports all overseas countries except for Mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and the USA.

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.
