Live Asian TV, not delayed reruns
Cantonese and Mandarin channels broadcast live, with dramas and variety shows on demand the day they air — no weeks-late catalogue.
Vio IPTV in Richmond — live television in every language of the city
Richmond watches the world in real time. In a city where Cantonese and Mandarin are heard as often as English — from Aberdeen Centre to the summer night market — "international programming" is not an add-on category, it is prime time. Yet the big bundles still treat it that way: a Canadian base tier first, then Chinese-language packages stacked on top at boutique prices, with dramas arriving weeks late and live Asian broadcasts missing entirely.
Vio flips the menu: live Cantonese and Mandarin channels, day-one Asian dramas and variety shows, plus Japanese, Korean, Filipino and Punjabi lineups — sitting in the same 4K guide as every Canucks game on Sportsnet Pacific. It all rides the fast, flat-island fibre Richmond is blanketed in, from Steveston to City Centre, as part of our BC IPTV services — brought to you by Canada's most trusted IPTV service.

📍 Local knowledge
Richmond specifics: Fairchild TV, Steveston and the Canucks
Richmond is the most Chinese-speaking city in Canada, and the lineup is built around that: Fairchild TV and Talentvision for Cantonese and Mandarin, mainland and Hong Kong networks, and Chinese-language sports feeds, next to the Canucks on Sportsnet Pacific, national nights on CBC and TSN 1, and the Lions and Whitecaps on TSN. The guide runs on Pacific Time.
Telus fibre and Rogers cable cover Richmond from Steveston to Hamilton and the No. 3 Road towers, and both stream 4K without a VPN. Global BC, CTV Vancouver and CBC Vancouver provide the local news in English, and the Filipino, Punjabi and Japanese packages cover the rest of the city's households.

Any stable connection works: Telus (PureFibre), Rogers (formerly Shaw) and Novus in downtown towers all stream Vio in HD and 4K without a VPN. Aim for about 20 Mbps for HD and 30 Mbps for 4K, and use an Ethernet cable to your streaming device on game nights.
What time zone is the TV guide set to in Richmond?
Pacific Time (America/Vancouver): eastern games start early, so a 7:00 pm Toronto face-off reads 4:00 pm here. You choose the zone once in your player app and every listing matches your clock from then on.
