For years e.tv has constantly restructured that section back in 2013 it was a kind of crappy compared to now where's so much entertainment including reality, international and local drama series, telenovelas and quality movies. With Easyview they basically have a Telenovela channel that's already found on OpenView except OpenView has 2 more channels for telenovelas, a repeats channel except OpenView's repeats channel also airs international programming, a dull reality channel which is accessible 24 hours a day compared to
