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]
