Here’s what’s wrong with BritBox……the app is dreadful. Way out of date already. Shows are all over the place and difficult to find. Needs a complete overhaul.

One of my daughters gave me Britbox today and I was a bit disappointed by the content but the main thing was that it sticks on my android box. I can’t use the letters A-Z to search for programs so would have to know the name of the program I wish to watch. Browsing is limited because of this problem.

Have subscribed to Britbox fairly consistently over the last several years (mostly through standalone, but also by Amazon and Roku). Initially it was a small streaming platform in the US that finally offered us the ability to see some of the good shows from the UK. Although choices were a bit limited they did send out periodic surveys regarding content and asking for input. Fast forward a few years and they have tons of content, but most of it is garbage. Few newer shows, tons of reality shows and stuff from the 1980s, lots of old garbage I can't imagine people would want to watch. I have been so disappointed that I now now only renew my membership to continue viewing new seasons of Shetland and Vera. I have found that PBS Passport is far superior in cost and has a huge variety of shows offered not just from the US and the UK but from countries across the globe.

Britbox har et domæne der hedder britbox .com/dk/ og det må betyde at det er streaming målrettet danske kunder. Har skrevet til dem om man kan være sikker på danske undertekster på al streaming. De svarer at det kan man ikke. Det synes jeg er er et rigtigt dårligt udgangspunkt for at gå på det danske marked & har i første omgang valgt ikke at blive kunde.

I paid the annual fee for Britbox because it has all the old British comedies and murder mystery programs I enjoy. 5 weeks in, I suddenly can't get any programs working. Ridiculous. I bet they won't give me my money back now they have it either

I do like the programing but the one thing that drives me crazy is that there is no way to delete the "continue watching" segment. All contact with BritBox says that "they are working on it." This has been going on for 2+ years. Programs that you watch completely are sometimes still listed as continue watching. If you watch something for 10 minutes, and decide it is not for you, it stays there. Anyone have an answer? You used to be able to go to the last episode, play it and then it would delete the whole program. Since they recently re-vamped the site that no longer works,

I've an issue with the concept. BBC programming is paid for by TV licence so paying for it is simply wrong. It should be in iPlayer and simply available for those who have TV Licence. Bearing in mind any ITV content was paid for by ads it's a total rip off imo. Service itself works ok though search function doesn't actually search hence the 2 stars. This may work for those with a rose tinted view of old and often awful TV from yesteryear but I don't have that view. Granted the last point is my opinion only. I had a look but not impressed enough there to follow through and buy.
