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, Malaysia, Vietnam, United States and Canada; the mobile application named TVBAnywhere+ supports all overseas countries except for mainland China, Hong Kong, Canada, United States 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. Hong Kong users can also watch TVB's free-to-air television channel.

On 26 October 2018, TVB Anywhere launched in Singapore. However, it is only available as a SVOD. ^[7]

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