TVBAnywhere North America Reviews

I love tvb shows a lot of different shows but TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica is horrible. Every update, it gets worse. The most annoying part is when you click where you left off and you go into that part, it still plays the same amount of ads as if you were watching the episode from the beginning. This latest update, the ad blacks the screen and you have to restart TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica and go through the ads again. I really don’t mind the ads but it just annoying with all these bugs.

Yes I understand they need to show commercials to make money. But recently the amount of ads are just getting out of hand, especially the web version. I watch the web version on my computer and connect it to tv. I find myself have to jump thru hoops just to be able to finish the show. There are different kinds of ads. And I need to find the right button to click so the ad can play and the show would continue. This is watching tv. You are not supposed to figure out where to click so you can continue to watch the show.

TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica has gotten progressively worse after each update. The ads are so loud compared to the actual shows, startling my elderly father constantly. The ads have gotten ridiculously long too. Most recently, we had to sit through 6 minutes of the SAME ad, I kid you not - it was played 31 times. Would really like to see improvements made. Would be happy to pay a monthly service for this to cut down on ads and help with improvements.

I been using TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica since Shelter-In-Place. I’m a loyal fan of TVBHK. However, I am so sad that TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica is very easy to get hangs up. When moving up to next show, it will black out the screen and stop broadcasting. Sometimes the advertisements and show goes together. On the other hand, there was too much advertisement. One ridiculous thing is that, TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica that I’m using is for Chinese dialect but the advertisement is Vietnamese. Here’s America, I think only English is acceptable in Chinese App. TVB has Vietnam App too. Hoping that TVB will fix this bug ASAP.

Ads always disrupt all the time while playing the movie. They let you watch about 5 minutes movie and ads on. After the ads done then the screen turned black. There is no way to skip the ads or continue for you to watch the movie again. I open TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica and replay where it stopped but still the ads always play first and then like what I just said earlier ( 5 minutes movie time and then ads disruption and then shut down the movie when the ads are over)

Too much ads, volume for ads is way too loud (louder than the shows), even worse is black screen during/after ads, you cannot get out because it freezes your phone, press home button won’t solve the problem, sometimes I have to press power button couple time to exit TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica. When you open TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica again, it will do the same thing again and again. Today I experienced it 5 times on one show at the some spot, cannot pass it.

TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica is amazing, I love how I can stream tvb shows, old and new, in one platform. Improvements I would suggest is to please please pleaaasseee lower the volume of the ads. It’s bad enough that there’s so many of them, but please tone down the volume. It never fails to startle me. Also can there be a way to save where I left off? Rather than having to guess the episode and scroll to find where I left off, it would be so helpful to pickup where I left off. I would be more than happy to pay for a premium service.

Thanks!!

It’s nice that it’s free to watch but there should be an Airplay mode in the video frame. I try to mirror my screen but there’s too much lag that way. For example, the video blacks out and/or the sound shuts off in the middle of streaming when I mirror it on my Apple TV. An AirPlay option would make this experience a lot more pleasant. Also, I don’t mind watching ads to get this service for free, but after having started to use TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica, my iPad has been slower than ever and it has been acting up. I hope it’s safe to use and that the developers aim to protect its consumers. All in all, I appreciate TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica ’s existence, but a lot of improvements can be made.

I love to watch all the shows on TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica . TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica has a lot of varieties shows however TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica has a lot of bugs and very glitchy. It doesn’t allow you to start again where you left off if it’s in the middle of an episode if you stop it for a few hours. I hope their IT team can fix the bugs so I can continue to enjoy it. Overall Vicki app is a better option.

Like the shows that TVBAnywhere has to offer. Appreciate that it is a free app and free to watch the shows, any reasonable amount of ads will be fine, but not 7 or 9 ads being played each time; or when you want to skip a segment that you had watched many times prior, there will 9 ads being played before the clip starts and immediately after it is finished. It is too annoying.

I have been using TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica for a few months. I don’t mind the ads but I must said it has been getting out of hand. For a newer show, ads come on every 10 mins. Not only that, the worst part is the volume. The show will be at the soft volume stage but when the ads come on, the volume is so loud. When I watched the show at night with my headphones, I have to be so careful in removing the headphone when ads come on. Otherwise, I can deafen my ear drums! Please work on the volume issue.

I love the of the vast availability of content and the quality of the shows. TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica lets you add shows to favorites list if you sign up. The problem is, every time I go into the members only section TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica would crash. This happens every time on the iPad. I tried to see if something would happen on my iPhone but I wasn’t even able to sign up. I filled out all the info and after confirming it just shows it’s loading and goes on forever.

I am a big TVB fans and was so happy to learned that We can now watching most of TVB shows online with just 1 day delay. Since it’s free; I would expect there are many ads which I don’t mind. However during the shows; the ads would comes in the middle then it got stuck. I had to re-open that show again and it got stuck at the same place during the ads again. After attempting 4 times, I finally gave up and couldn’t finish that show. This becomes unacceptable shows after shows. Hopefully it could fix this problem soon so I can give a better review and enjoy TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica. In the meanwhile, I’m not going to use TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica again.

Free app with a variety of good quality shows available, only downside is that there are a ton of ads that would pop up randomly here and there when you play a video. Ads are way way louder than the volume of the shows too. Sometimes the ads wouldn’t load and I would have to click out and in back in. Love that it’s available on Apple TV, hate the ads. Please fix!!!!! And the ads they play are the same ones over and over again. You can do better than this TVB.

I been looking forward to an app that allows me to watch tvb drama on my iPhone. But I really wish they will have the option for chromecast. They should really add in the option to pay a set price for a premium version of TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica that doesn’t have ads. I will gladly pay upwards to $20. They will be able to earn more money and leave their customer happy! !!!

Hong Kong TV, TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica stream fast, clear and audio sync. It’s not a five star because it does not have a landscape version for IPad when selecting what to watch. After selecting the show I want to watch and expand to full view landscape mode will turn upside down. It’s hard to believe it’s an app from a TV broadcast company. I do enjoying watch from TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica, the advertisements are about 30 seconds each time and it’s about three to four time per episode.

It would be better that TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica do not start at Portrait mode and stays Portrait mode when the iPad is at Landscape Mode. The screen will turn back to Landscape mode after user selected a show in Portrait mode and finishes watching the first commercial.

Updated at Jan 2023.
This time is rotating the landscape mode correct side up.

Any chance for this to turn into a subscription service like Netflix? I’m sure there’s a big enough user base for it. I have no problem paying monthly to watch the shows being offered without the annoying ads.

TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica offers a big library of past and current shows, but the ads are more than intrusive, it’s down right annoying, especially from time to time it lags and takes a long time to load.

TVB app in iOS has more shows and series that on ruko and fire tv. But only down side is the ad. I don’t mind to watch the ad but some time after the ad is over the original show or series does not start right away or it will have black screen. I have to turn off TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica or the phone in order to fixed. Also sometime the series is paused for the ad but the ad takes forever to load. These are some bugs on TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica needed to fix.

I do greatly love and appreciate TVBAnywhereNorthAmerica because I can’t go a day without my dose of TVB dramas. Would be great if there weren’t so many ads though. Not only the amount of ads but also the repetitiveness, the same ad can consecutively play 2-3 times per “commercial break”. Gets irritating when that happens several times in one episode. Feels like the ads are more ingrained into my memory than the drama itself.

Please keep the mandarin version. I don’t read Chinese but I understand the language. So please don’t get rid of the mandarin version. And some of the English version doesn’t have much drama as the mandarin version. Please keep the mandarin version and add more drama please... thanks you so much
