Does anyone have Brit Box?

[freshstart]

I got an ad for Brit Box, a netflix like service for all things British, anyone tried it? I am hesitant to pay for yet another service to get media but love British tv so I'm curious.

[Simplemind]

I love it too. So far we have found everything on Netflix.

No, but my friend has Acorn, a similar serbice that offers up British tv series.

For me, I get dvds from the library, I dont need things streamed into my home.

Have you all seen Regency House Party? I think it might be American television but all the actors/ participants are British and they are recreating a Regency house party. I got it at the library yesterday and watched a little last night. It's kind of like Bachelor meets Persuasion. You might like it.

I've never heard of Brit Box or Acorn. Will have to Google both of them.

I subscribe to Brit Box... just watched the Granada TV adaptation of Brideshead Revisited.
As a lower cost alternative there is the app for BBC. There is more UK content on the BBC than one could see/hear in a lifetime in front of a telly. I especially enjoy classical music on BBC 3 (no video of course).

We just started BritBox yesterday (I am sick in bed and binge watching). Noticed it had all my favorites and a host of new programs.

thanks for the advice about the BBC app, that sounds perfect!

Is the BBC app on the Roku or or the cell phone? Or both, maybe?

I use Brit Box for entertainment videos from the BBC and I subscribe through Amazon video. For audio there are a couple of choices that work on kindle. "Listen to the BBC" which is where I get BBC 3, and I believe all the services can be accessed. Or "BBC Media Player" which accesses selected video news clips, culture shows, etc, as well as BBC World Service news items. I never tried watching on cell phone.

Thanks, dado potato. Guess I'll need to do some research on my own before I decide.

I don't have other services. I love british television. But, Wow, it sounds like people have grand libraries in their areas! not mine! It's anemic in most things.

I don't find Netflix particularly rich in the British television show department. What do you watch? May I ask?

We alternative having Acorn, Britbox and CBSallaccess. The Britbox has more of my long time favorites. But we dont need all three channels all the time (and spending the money on each). So we join one per month or so to get fresh content.

I am still enjoying Youtube on Amazon Fire, which may go away in January due to a fight between Amazon and Google. Then we will find another source for it, maybe Roku.

My library has 25,000 dvds. There was an awesome person in charge of collection development there for a while. :)
