If you grew up watching Hong Kong TV dramas in Malaysia, then TVB is a familiar name to you. TVB, which stands for Television Broadcasts Limited, is one of the biggest commercial Chinese programme producers in the world and it’s also the first wireless commercial television station in Hong Kong.
Most people in Malaysia, especially those who don’t speak the Cantonese dialect fluently, cite TVB as their go-to platform for learning Cantonese—very much like how some people watch anime to learn Japanese.
For TVB fans out there, you’d be well aware that you have to wait to watch your favourite drama series by downloading the torrent file only after the show is officially released by TVB. If you’re eager to watch your shows live, you have to pay for it. However, we have found a way for you to watch TVB live, without paying a single cent.
