all the 80's and 90's shows were waaay better (hell even some of the 70s shows are good if you can get past the fact its the 70s :) )

there's the odd gem for sure like EU

but most shows start out good or okay and end up completely retarded half way through like they just gave up

and they always end abruptly as hell instead of making 1 or 2 more episodes to make the ending coherent they just smash it all together on the final ep

What do you guys expect?

TVB has dominated/monopolized the Cantonese-speaking entertainment industry for decades in Hong Kong, enjoying prime time ratings, exclusive contracts with "unspoken clauses" with A-class entertainers (ie, if you film with ATV, TVB's main competitor in HK, you will never be able to work for TVB again, or bogus clauses like you cannot participate in interviews using cantonese with a non-TVB news media in HK), or in scenarios if you speak negatively about TVB, they will make sure you will not get an acting role in the industry.

With these types of assets and strangleholds, they don't need to innovate, and can continuously recycle the same plots and actors, and can still streamline a source of income.

Hi,

Does anyone know if these are ALL chinese stations? And are they ALL still free?

Thanks in advance!

Ever notice most of the tvb seies r in 20, 25 or 30 episodes? Ever notice that when a series airs on tv, it always starts on a monday and ends on a friday?
If they made that 1 extra episode, that means theyll need to make 4 extra episodes to round it out. On rare occasions do they have that odd episode, and even then they air it on a saturday to finish the series so the following monday they can start airing a new series.

telus internet service is a whirlpool of shit compared shaw's internet

still waiting for the day TVB buys out fairchild

wont happen, TVB controls 30% of fairchild Media, if TVB buys the rest, the CRTC will come down and they wouldn't be able to broadcast

Fairchild Media is one of the many holdings that the parent company owns

so...who's happy that they still have channel 523 with all the cute/hot chicks? :fullofwin: cause I AM! :fullofwin:

lol yea


i asked the shaw rep online about pricing the other 2 channels that got scrambled and he's like $9.95 a month a channel???!

im like uhh... what? and he's like "oh you can get ch 519, 521, 522 for $14.95/m" -_-

i like the old movie channel even though they're dubbed into mando

hmm..just checked..i get 519 and 520 but anyways WTF? $9.95 a month for a channel?!?!? that is BS right there.
