BritBox Reviews

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,

Despite contacting Britbox twice I have received no response from my request for a credit for my 30 days free trial. The money was taken from my account as soon as I subscribed, & did so every month until I cancelled after 3 months.
Also, not interested in paying to watch reruns of reruns.
Joke, & a rip off.

I gave a gift of a years subscription to a family member who loves British murder mysteries, which came in the form of a redemption code. Sounded like such a great gift idea. After she received it, she was unable to redeem it, as they demanded that she give them here credit card information for an auto-renewal. Months and many emails later, she's still not able to redeem the gift, what a complete scam! I didn't read the reviews here, but I really should have, sounds like even if she had been able to redeem it's not at all as advertised. Will be asking my CC company refund the money if I can.

Twice in the last couple of weeks I could not start up Britbox on my Samsung TV for a whole evening. I could also not start up iPlayer or ITV Hub. Netflix, AppleTV, Prime Video all worked so do the UK services share a common server?

The worst streaming site I have ever used. You can't sign in even when you are a paying customer. This is another example of the losers at the BBC. They can't even run a simple streaming site or app. Go back to the drawing board losers.

The worst app/interface I have ever used = and I used iPlayer on the first day of it's trial in October 2005
I have given up trying to use the app on my LG Smart TV, or on Amazon Fire TV Stick - no genres for looking by type such as Drama, Comedy, Documentaries/factual,
Search function is absolutely unusable
It's incredible that this service owned by the BBC and ITV, both of whom have excellent Smart TV apps (iPlayer & ITV Hub), and yet they cannot share their technology with BritBox...
Then there is the paucity of documentaries - if you want me to pay for it, then put BBC Horizon on there, alongside TimeWatch, TimeShift, and some StoryVille - why not look back into ITV Anglias back catalogue and include ITV SURVIVAL SPECIAL - which isn't available ANYWHERE!
- Why not include the history documentaries that the BBC has output in the last 5-10 years or so... surely they're not all restricted by being broadcast by PBS in America?
I cancelled my membership - I'll stick with what's free on ITV Hub, iPlayer, All4 (which ALL have excellent interfaces/smart tv apps), and pay for the decent apps like Netflx, Now TV, Amazon
Plus there's always youtube!

Britbox UK is total rubbish. Half the time it keeps freezing and the other half it doesnt work at all. Taxpayers money goes on this trash. Subscription cancelled 3 days after I had it. Useless!

We have just subscribed to britbox AU the tv shows are years behind and it is a waste of money
some TV shows are 10 seasons behind,
we will be cancelling our subscription

A corporation that has used bully boy tactics for years to get their licence fee. Then squanders it , and feeds the nation a diet of pc/sjw crap and endless repeats. And then has the nerve to make the licence holders to pay again to watch the shows they have already funded on britbox! Pay per view funding needs to be forced on them!

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.

I haven't been able to receive BritBox on my Android device for over a month. The android box was able to receive it was has steadily been worse until now it doesn't work at all.

BBC iPlayer sign in rubbish Trying to use bbc iPlayer now you have…
Trying to use bbc iPlayer now you have made a terrible mess with sign in. DOES NOT WORK. NOWHERE TO ENTER CODE. YOU HAVE STOLEN MY TIME AND MONEY. I WANT MY MONEYBACK.
