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]
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 launched in Singapore. But, there is no live TV and only available as a SVOD.[7]
On 7 April 2020, TVB Anywhere launched in USA as TVB Anywhere USA aimed at American audiences with live TV from Jadeworld's Channels and streaming video on demand.[8]
