I was thinking about getting my parents to switch to Telus because 1) shaws internet bs 2) telus has a lot of chinese channels (i think its like 15 channels?)

but telus tv isnt available @ the rents

the freebies seem to be all over the place...on my mother in law's place...DIY network is free...on my mom's NICK is free...

oh well...

sweet...523 looks pretty interesting! =D

is this mandarin only?

yep they're stations from taiwan

180-183 and 518-523. only 2 are new

Edit:

my mom was watching it. Feb 9th they started those channels. Feb 17th they will take away 180-183 channels off

When is fairchild going to be HD? Or is that available already...?

Do Chinese shows even shoot in HD?

It's HD in Hong Kong.

no HD no talk

freaking fairchild is such fail....they are bunch of cheap bastards who know that they already dominate the whole chinese market so they aint gonna do jack to upgrade anything....

we need more competitions/ choices here

Shaw needs a way to stream TVB over, ill gladly pay for it, given they corrent the timings differences.

I haven't watched Chinese TV for at least 10 years. Everything on those channels bores me now since they all look terrible. I used to watch that lawyer show (Yut Ho Wong Ting) and that cop show (uh...something...Ching Chup Dong On) and maybe even the one with the doctors but these days they're all sorta boring.

No HD is a dealbreaker too.

The CRTC wouldn't allow that to happen, nor would TVB want to make their channels available here in North America. They would lose alot of sales from rentals. Thus, Fairchild was created in Canada, and TVB USA in the states.

Highly unlikely, the only increase in channels I see would be in the mandarin-speaking market. As the migration of people from the canton region to Canada has reduced over the years.

Those were my favorite shows back in the day too. Most of the 90's stuff was awesome.

TVB in Hong Kong is HD, and they don't pay for basic television. That's TVB + 5 other channels. (At least that's what happened when I was a kid)

Correct me if I am wrong, the TVB HD feed in HK is free as well.

Shaw is migrating all multicultural channels from the 100s to the 500 range.

yea

ch199 = 516 (LsTimes)
ch181 = 517 (Fairchild)
ch182 = 518 (Fairchild E)
ch183 = 519 (Phoenix)
ch180 = 520 (Talentvision)
and then 521-523 are new Taiwan (mandarin) stations


I'd like to see fairchild start an HD channel -_- it's sooo lame to see all these shows which i can download in HD in SD but Fairchild likely won't they have no need/drive to

TVBI owns a cut of fairchild MEDIA

Yeah i would like Fairchild to start an HD channel too........

創世紀 was one of the best tvb dramas imo.
