    Yes it is, looks like they locked down the streams with username/password. I probably won't have time to look into this until next week and the wifey only watches downloaded dramas these days, so it doesn't help (you :) ). I'll get back to you guys if I find a way to watch the channels again.

    I think the free ride might be over for us. I think they are not broadcasting the Hong Kong channels to the public anymore.
    Can anyone read chinese from the TVPad forum to see if TVB is down right now? Sorry, I can't read chinese.
    Here is the website - http://www.tvpadfans.com/forum.php

    Can anyone with a TVPad confirm that the channels are still up and running? If TVB is still up, it means they have stopped broadcasting on BETV and Sopcast :(
    Maybe it is time to buy the TVPad.

    I ask my friend, who got a TVPAD, and he says that all the TVB, ATV channels are still working fine. I guess the provider of the sopcast streams decided to block public users maybe after a talk with the company behind the TVPAD. The company works with third party providers and the company knows that many are using the sopcast streams to watch TVB channels.

    I think you already know it, but with this coupon code you will get $30 discount when buying the TVPAD: 14696673

    I guess the free ride is over. No more Hong Kong channels :tear:

    To JVC888:
    Thank you for the coupon code. I think there is also lot of coupon codes for $30 off in the TVPad forum if anyone is interested.

    Hey JVC888, do you already have a TVPad, or are you planning to buy one? I am just asking because I might need help ordering through the website because I can't read any chinese. I really appreciate anyone's help in the ordering process.
    There goes $199 for my parents :wtf:

    No, I don't have a TVPAD yet (maybe I am going to buy it in the near future). I just made a screenshot of the registration form and I translated it, see the picture below. Good luck with your purchase.

    The jade satellite channel is still up, I guess since it's a different server. It's skips a fair bit for me though with the buffer never reaching 100%.

    Hmmm... I think we all need to live with the on-and-off nature of Sopcast - it is free after all but is really really cool to watch HK TV live overseas for sure :)

    Kudos to robo_tec and Phantoman for sourcing the channel listings for the world!

    Are they charging for a username and password now?

    On another note, what is wrong with BeTV? It tells you to download the latest version. But no channel show up on 1.6.0.6

    Current version is 1.6.0.7. You'll need to update the 1.6.0.6 client by clicking the update icon on top right corner.

    No, registration for BETV is free.

    Yes, it will work and have the regular BETV channels. There won't be any TVB channels from the old tvchannel.xml list, because it doesn't seem to work on the new client.


    Register BETV here: http://www.ibetv.com/user/register.html

    I have registered and also signed in, but the right side still only shows 2 drop down menus and then just 1 channel, and it keeps asking me to login :(

    --UPDATE--
    I do see the channels now but it keeps asking me to login, and keeps giving me an error.. I can't really make out what the chinese says, but it says something about can't access it from my location or something. I am in Canada

    The update process is still crashing. It crashes at the sop.ocx step. Do you have an install fuile for BeTV 1.6.0.7?

    Never mind. I got BeTV top update. But ATV does not work :(

    Sorry I should have phrased my previous post better. Do those sopcast channels with username and password charge for access now? I wouldn't mind paying if it was reasonable because the quality was pretty good.
