In short: BC is one of the most multilingual places in Canada, and TrendyScreen is built for that: South Asian and Chinese channel groups sit next to Canadian and US channels, sport and a large film library, on one login for the whole family.
Surrey: Punjabi, Hindi and cricket
Surrey has one of the largest Punjabi communities in the world outside India. The South Asian section gives you Punjabi entertainment and music channels, news from India and Pakistan, Gurbani and devotional channels, Hindi serials and Bollywood films, and live cricket. Our Brampton page lists the South Asian groups in more detail — the line-up is the same across Canada.
Vancouver and Richmond: Chinese and Asian channels
The Chinese section has Mandarin and Cantonese channels — news, drama, variety and kids — from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and Persian groups are included too, so households in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby and Coquitlam can keep up with home without a separate ethnic TV package.
Hockey and sport on Pacific time
Canucks games, the NHL across North America, the Whitecaps in MLS, the BC Lions in the CFL, and cricket at all hours. Living on Pacific time means many games start during the afternoon or very late at night — use catch-up on channels that support it, or the replays in the sports groups. More on sports and PPV.
Internet across BC
- Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley: fibre and cable are widespread and handle 4K easily.
- Vancouver Island and the Interior: cable and fibre in towns; fixed wireless or 5G home internet elsewhere — test with a free trial.
- Apartments and condos: crowded Wi-Fi is the usual cause of buffering. Use Ethernet or the 5 GHz band — see buffering fixes.
Devices BC families use
A Fire TV Stick on each TV is the most common setup. Families with older relatives often prefer a MAG box or a Formuler, because they turn on straight into live TV with a simple remote. Phones and tablets work with IPTV Smarters Pro or GSE Smart IPTV.
Getting started
Ask for a free trial, open the groups your family watches, and check a live game in the evening. Then choose a plan. More about the rest of the country on the IPTV Canada hub.
