** And fourth, [=SimpleTV=]. [=SimpleTV=] is the new name for [=DirecTV=], whose operations were bought by a company called Scale Capital. The start of operations of this service was controversial, because the government of Venezuela got involved ordering the new company to offer cheaper services. When the official content was finally announced, users began to complain on social networks about this decision, indicating that they were not going to go for more pay TV. And since several Venezuelans already had Roku or Android TV devices, the transition was much easier.

* Speaking of Peru, KWGN (affiliated to The WB at the time) from Denver was popular for subscribers of Cable Mágico [[note]]now Movistar TV[[/note]] in the late 90s before rights issues forced the channel to be removed.

* In the United States, Creator/DisneyXD was not met too well, especially since [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks they replaced]] Creator/ToonDisney. However, Disney XD's launch was better received in Europe, where the new channel replaced Jetix instead. Though admittedly, Toon Disney in those countries were replaced with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Cinemagic Disney Cinemagic]], or where there was just Jetix, simply Creator/DisneyChannel ''itself''. (Jetix ran in many parts of Eastern Europe ''long'' before Disney Channel, leading to it not even being launched in places like Hungary or Russia until ''2009''.)
** Indeed, Disney XD is ''huge'' in the Netherlands, which is why the Dutch version wasn't among the several European versions shut down in 2020 by Disney in favour of Creator/DisneyPlus.

* Anime fans in Latin America love ETC TV. After Cartoon Network stopped giving priority to anime and channels like Locomotion, Animax and ZAZ disappeared, ETC TV started to take the lead and began broadcasting anime series, Korean doramas and programs dedicated to geek culture. That's why news of that channel are very well received by the Latin American public, despite ETC TV is only available in Chile and the only way to watch it outside that country is through illegal IPTV and satellite systems.

* TMF originated from The Netherlands, but it was much more successful in Flanders. So much so that TMF Flanders was the only version of TMF that was still airing to this day until it was finally cancelled in 2016. The Dutch TMF, which is the last one to get cancelled in 2011. There was also a version of TMF in the United Kingdom and Australia, but they aired later with the Australian version closing operations earlier and the UK version becoming the UK version of Viacom's German music channel Viva in 2009.

However, Pluto TV has had tremendous success... in Venezuela of all countries. Venezuela is having a strong economic and political problem and the success is due to several factors:

** Second, the popularity of streaming devices in the country. After [=DirecTV=] closed its doors, Venezuelans had to find an alternative to the pay television service that [=DirecTV=] offered. That's when streaming devices came in, filling the gap [=DirecTV=] left. This is the reason why Roku devices have been popular in that country (even though Roku does not give official support in Venezuela), although the so-called TV Box has also started to take off, generally with the Android TV operating system and the brands that supported it, like Xiaomi. When Pluto TV announced that the service was now available for these streaming devices, Venezuelan users did not have much to do, except install the official application and voila (Roku users would have to create accounts with IPs from Argentina to access the full catalog of applications, where it includes Pluto TV).
