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. 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.{{Cite web|url=http://en.ocworkbench.com/m1-brings-tvb-cantonese-content-to-singapore-via-tvb-anywhere-sg-mobile-app/|title=M1 brings TVB Cantonese content to Singapore via TVB anywhere SG mobile app – OCWorkbench – PC, DIY, Smartphone Technical Reviews – TPG, 5G, MVNO, AMD, Tesla, Innovation, Singapore, Malaysia Success Investment Crypto}}

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.{{cite web |url=https://www.tvbanywhereusa.com/ |title=Home |website=tvbanywhereusa.com}}
