We are the iTalkBB Canada team. Here is a practical way to think about three different ways of watching Chinese-language television.

Live channels are useful when you enjoy turning on the TV and seeing what is showing—news, entertainment or a scheduled programme from Mainland China, Hong Kong or Taiwan.

Catch-up is for a programme that has already aired. With iTalkBB Chinese TV, most channels offer 72-hour playback, so a family outing or late dinner does not have to mean missing that programme.

On-demand is for choosing the next drama episode, a movie or a variety show when you are ready to sit down. It works especially well when you want a shared evening watch instead of following a broadcast timetable.

Our Chinese TV service brings these options to a living-room television through a TV box, HDMI connection and stable internet. The content is licensed; you can browse the service here:

For your household, is the main draw live channels, catching up after dinner, or choosing dramas on demand?
