Service hasn't been up long.. Few weeks, but I would assume content changes pretty much as it does on Prime / Netflix.

Yeah, too new to tell. I did notice that Corrie says the episodes will only be available for about 5 days after broadcast. I don't watch it, so not sure if this means it'll drop off or what. I suspect tht's the case, though.

Thanks for the info - I will keep an eye on it. Hopefully Red Dwarf will be available long enough to start that again and watch them all. As I don't watch the soaps, I can cope with them disappearing quickly

I watched all of them back in UK, started them again here in US on Amazon when they were free with Prime, then when we had to pay for them we stopped. I kept meaning to go back to look at the price and decide whether to but the DVDs or pay on Prime. Now I have something else to compare the prices! But britbox has other shows I probably can't get on Prime or anywhere other than iPlayer. Just a pity not all BBC programs are here

Agreed, but at least they're adding stuff all the time. THere's a new show I knew nothing about and the first episode is on there today. It's called Kat & Alfie: Redwater, and it's the Moons from EastEnders in Ireland, looking for her long lost son and discovering a secret...etc.

Like I said before, to be able to watch EastEnders on the same night it airs in the UK legally is worth it to me on its own. We're working our way through A Touch Of Frost now and re-watches of RD and Porridge make it well worth the $7 a month!

Well done you lot, you've made me sign up now too. It was Red Dwarf and Cora that clinched it

Can you download to watch later, or is it streaming only?

When I watched it was about 8 hours after the event. Not sure how long it is available for but it is like any other program on BritBox watch it when you want.

Thanks, but I meant download programmes to watch later without an internet connection, such as on a plane.

No you can't do that, just stream them when you want to.
