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.

Posted via RS Mobile | 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. Quote:

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

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
