Computer version restrictions

When the myTV SUPER web version was launched in February 2017, it only supported Internet Explorer 11.0 or above and Safari 8.0 or above browsers. Other mainstream browsers (including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera) were not supported. Later, in April 2017, support was added for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. This version's defects also included device usage count issues: even when the same device uses the service with a single IP address, when cookies are reset or the operating system is reinstalled, related web warnings may appear preventing login.

Ads

When myTV SUPER launched in March 2016, it boasted no advertisements, but several months after the service launched, different types of advertisements began appearing. In addition to numerous banner ads on the interface, video ads began appearing before or during video on demand programs. The number even increased from one to four consecutive ads at one point. There were many related complaints on its Facebook page, almost no different from watching television channels.

From the second half of 2017 onwards, "U-shaped" (set-top box) or "L-shaped" (app version) advertisements began appearing during video playback, briefly shrinking the video screen with ads appearing on the extra black borders. During such ads, videos cannot be paused or stopped, nor can full-screen playback mode be exited. The set-top box version also displays ads when switching live channels or after fast-forwarding or rewinding.

From April 2021, TVB added anti-ad blocker mechanisms to the myTV SUPER web version's video player. When it detects that the user's browser has such plugins enabled, videos will not play and will prompt users to disable the plugins to ensure smooth video playback.

Additionally, when customers apply to use the service, they agree to TVB handing over personal data to advertisers. Users' email inboxes may receive different advertisements in the future.

Reduced free version features

Compared to myTV, the free version of myTV SUPER has even more restrictions. In addition to forcing users to register as members with mobile phone, name, and other personal data instead of using it without logging in, whereas myTV previously provided full replays of most TVB programs and retained them for 60 days, including previously uploaded programs, from April 17, 2017, all programs in the free version (including "News File," one of the few programs retained for over 60 days) are now retained for a maximum of 7 days only, and only a small number of programs are available for replay, effectively forcing users to apply for paid services.

Disputes with third-party websites

The adult website "myAVSUPER" was suspected of commercial derivative work and faced legal response from TVB. TVB stated that myAVSUPER's website trademark and domain name both resemble TVB's registered "myTVSUPER" trademark and domain name. "myAVSUPER" responded that domain name registration uses a first-come, first-served method, the accusation has no basis, and "myAVSUPER's" global website traffic ranking is higher than myTVSuper. Another earlier famous commercial derivative work media company TVMost has not been reported to have related copyright disputes.

The Full-Time Wife Escapist New Year Special cancelled last minute

TVB had long purchased the Hong Kong broadcasting rights to TBS Television dramas from Japan and had previously broadcast the Japanese drama The Full-Time Wife Escapist. TVB once planned to upload The Full-Time Wife Escapist 2021 New Year Special (SP) to MyTV SUPER on January 6, 2021 (the special itself aired in Japan on January 2, 2021). TVB officially had also placed the special's promotional banner on the on-demand platform.

However, part of the special had realistic plot content about the COVID-19 pandemic. The drama used real TBS news footage, describing several key moments during the early pandemic period, including early pandemic coverage where Japanese news reported "The 'novel coronavirus' appeared in Wuhan, China. Currently, there are no drugs or vaccines against this virus. There have been multiple confirmed cases nationwide, and the number of patients and deaths may increase in the future." Shortly after these lines were reported by the media, TVB cancelled the program upload at the last minute and removed the promotional banner from the myTV SUPER official website. This move led to reports in multiple newspaper entertainment sections.
