Free digital terrestrial TV uses DVB-T and has fully replaced analogue since 30 June 2012; viewers need a digital TV antenna and a TV or set-top box with HD decoding, since several channels are in HD. It is free and carries about 20 channels from the five terrestrial broadcasters (TTV, CTV, CTS, FTV and PTS).
Step-by-step guides for putting these channels on a smart TV, Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV or Chromecast:
Official broadcasters may offer free viewing in their apps, on their websites or through free-to-air TV. Check the service’s regional restrictions and terms. Doubo browser availability is shown in the quick answer above.
Official options include 公視+ (PTS+), 公視新聞網 PNN (YouTube), TaiwanPlus. Compare their current free tiers, supported devices and regional restrictions. A directory listing does not guarantee playback in Doubo.
Some streams play anywhere, but broadcasters often limit others to viewers inside Taiwan because of their rights. Doubo only lists streams that broadcasters make public and does not bypass these limits.
