I finally had to delete it. Because I was paid up until 19 it wouldn't let me start over again. On the 20th I signed back up with Roku and ever since it has been fine.
I really don't think much of their customer service though, Britbox or Roku. Plus for 2 months I was double billed and they are still working on that "glitch" :fingerscrossed: for you. Hope it all works out ok.

That doesn't sound good. I haven't tried to log in this morning to see if it is the same. I rest my password online so we'll see it that helps. Having watch Britbox for about 3 hours last night it suddenly refused to play part 3 of a Miss Marble story. This was about 10pm, so I just gave up on for the night.

Re: BritBox
I am still waiting for Britbox to be released on Fire TV. I am not about to go and spend a $100 on a roku box that's almost as fast as the Amazon box. Also I don't think the Roku allows for the 2 screen experience or has a child restrictions like Amazon freetime.
Has anyone had experience of an Android TV box? I have read that it may be the way to go for TV viewing. Something like this. Download SMALLRT X2 Android TV Box Firmware and Flash Upgrade introduced by Top 10 TV Boxes - Press Release Rocket |

All it does is run Kodi (google it), which you can side-load on the Fire and have all the functionality they're charging hundreds for! |

First, there's a Roku for $30 that. That's what I got purely for Britbox!

Re: BritBox
Strange. Ours, whilst not blazing, is certainly fast enough.

I tired the $30 Roku, it's like stirring treacle, so slow. They are about as fast as the Amazon Fire Sticks. The Fire TV is probably 3 or 5 times faster. It's almost instant play when selecting a show.

Re: BritBox
The fire TV stick has a spinning circle for about 20 seconds between selecting the show and the show starting, Maybe the Roku sticks have improved.
I was going to look at the premier+ box because of the speed, but sounds like I don't need to. |

Re: BritBox
I run a HDMI cable from my PC to the TV for BBC iPlayer, and the ITV and Channel 4 players. Control from a wireless keyboard.
A plug to "Monoprice" for low prices on all kinds of cables and accessories. https://www.monoprice.com/ |
