Re: BritBox
Lived without it for some months now so will try to keep it that way.

Re: BritBox
Not a bad price but I can't see what this would offer me over and above iPlayer/ITVPlayer/4OD/Demand5 + TunnelBear.

*Doesn't mean iPlayer will be leaving my TV any time soon
As an aside, 40D... Worst website ever?.. Must be running close to first prize.

Re: BritBox
If they offered all 4 channels with decent speeds I'd support them too, even if it were slightly more expensive than my current setup. But as it stands I can't lose my 'Neighbours' and 'Home & Away'

Re: BritBox
Is this BritBox just a website, or does it have an app and/or available on Xboxs and Playstations etc?

Re: BritBox
Playback and quality seems good so far... it will be interesting to see how content is added as they ramp up.

Re: BritBox
I just shot them an email asking two, very important for me, questions...
1. When will it be available for the Amazon Fire TV? (I have three of them, two in use!)...and...
2. Will all programming be commercial free?
The price of $7/Mo seems very reasonable, so I'm hoping it's not being kept low by and ad for Tide Pods right as Ian Beale is making another foll of himself!!!

Re: BritBox
Hoping the number of shows improves, which I'm sure it will, but it's already good value for me as it's got every episode of Porridge.
