Hey 🙂.

I’m from the UK and I found the topic of Britbox so interesting that it encouraged me to make my first (proper) YouTube video reviewing it. It’s really refreshing as an American that you’ve taken an interest.

I HIGHLY recommend Bad Girls (it heavily influenced Orange Is The New Black, but it’s more gruesome/realistic). The complete DVD box set of this series cost more than the yearly subscription so it was enough to encourage me to commit for a whole year.

Other recommendations:

* How Not to Live your life (funniest thing I’ve seen in my life)

* This Is England (86, 88 & 90)

* Peep Show

I’m looking forward to watching Time too.

I've used Britbox for a long time. I like mysteries. I used Acorn off and on.

I actually subscribed to britbox for the sole purpose of watching doctor who I'm currently season 2 episode 16 of the Hartnell years

[Bananyaya]

I pay monthly for Britbox and Acorn. Love them both

If you have watched a lot of Brit tv shows, getting Britcom may be boring unless you really really want to watch them again, i.e. Poirot, Marple, QI, Death in Paradise, Are You Being Served. We got the yearly subscription and I'm sorry we did. After about 3 months there was very little we wanted to watch and there are very few new shows each month, I think I counted only 8 new shows for July, which included 2 more seasons of Poirot. Next time, unless there is something amazing, we will only do monthly.

I get Britbox usually 3 or 4 times a year, mainly to binge on Classic Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes.
I love both of them and I never tire of watching them.

Hi I am Elizabeth jo dewey, I love britbox. I am out of work because of seizures. And Mrs. Browns boys and father brown and all the other comedies and mysteries I love. As they laughter is good medicine for the soul. I could never give it up.😅

Having subscribed to Britbox for many years. We enjoy Poirot, Miss Marple and of course Death in Paradise and Life on Mars, . There are so many more. At $7.00 per month it's a great deal.

[deborahcunningham]

Yes! I love it. This along with Acorn TV almost, almost, satisfies my craving, my need, for brit TV.

I love British Crime shows all of my friends think I'm nutz lol. But can anyone tell me any good Mi5/ Espionage tv shows on BritBox or Acorn. Thanks

I alternate my streaming services. Only a couple of months per service. I have Brit box right now as I got it on a sale for $1 a month for 2 months. But I’m in Australia and a lot of our services have British tv mixed in with them, so a couple of times a year is probably enough Brit box for me.

[gordonrosenberg]

We like Britbox and Acorn, couple months a year each at this point, not sure there's enough at either to sustain a year sub. Usually pick up one at a time on special deal when we can at Amazon Prime, to catch up on new seasons (Acorn for 2 months at Prime Day this time around).

I just started using Brit box. Frustrated that there is no movie category on the menu. How do you see a list of movies available?

[tilburg]

Does Britbox have closed captions? If so, how can I set it up?

[s.d.]

$80.00 per year is too expensive in my opinion. If it were 1/2 of that price I'd considered it only to watch Shetland.

[neomamuro]

Since I'm not an app developer, here's an free idea for you out there. Make an app that allows users to schedule their resubscription and unsubscription (are those actual words?). That way, I can subscribe to Netflix for let's say three months, then unsubscribe and at the same time resubscribe to Disney+ for three months, and then to yet another streaming service without having to keep track of when I should cancel my subscription to avoid additional charges.

[marciecarter]

How do I put the channels in the order that I want to on YouTube TV?

[iz]

There is also France Channel which is the French version of britbox which launched in the US recently. I would like to see you review that service as well.

[darlowmaxwell]

Just subscribed for a year. Best closed captions of and service.

[Oldeagle]

I am back on Britbox after almost two years. I made the mistake of trying to watch everything at once.😊
