If you do decide to get the TVPad or an equivalent, I think to be safe, up your internet package. I say this because with a 15MB package through Telus, sometimes the internet speeds do suffer when my folks watch HD channels on the TVPad but it's not that huge of a deal since we're mostly surfing the web, IM'ing and e-mails, etc.

Do you happen to know if the TVB and ATV channel on the TVPAD is a stream, or it has a VOD feature as well? I ask because their primetime shows are broadcasted between 7pm-9pm Hong Kong Time, which is during 4-6AM PST in Vancouver. Kind of pointless of getting it if it's only a stream.
What about local Cantonese news? Are they OK with that? I'd imagine that their news offering would be HK/China orientated.
If I do go the TVPad route, I am looking at switching my internet provider. I'm thinking of getting Teksavvy 25Mbps/2.5Mbps (Unlimited Bandwidth) for $45/month. Pretty good deal.
