BritboxReviews 326

Politically correct pathetic programming who are these idiots to censor British classics like ain't half hot mum and fools and horses, these half wits wont last two minutes, stay clear,

BritBox is terrible. Continuously cutting out yet I can watch Netflix or amazon all day without connection issues. When you return to a programme it takes you back to the beginning not where you left off! Plus it's basically IPlayer + ITV Hub, which is free anyway. I won't be carry on my subscription after the free trial, load of s**t

I'm very disappointed after 24 hours of britbox. So what's missing? We're do I start how about Sharpe, Dr who, non of the big blockbuster TV series

Signed up etc for BritBox (now cancelled). Go through the whole thing everything works until I press play... nothing apart from a black screen.
So much for this plays on smart TVs! 4 year old Sony 4K tv with all the updates.

I love a lot of the content, but the navigation is horrible. This isn't brain surgery - get someone to fix it!!!

Based on other reviews this is probably pointless. I haven't had any of the problems other people have had. I loved Brit box. But I just started a series and there were ads. I pay for television so I don't have to watch ads. I hate them. I cancelled my subscription.

Signed for FREE week, to be followed by mothly charge. Billed for a year, will not talk
STAY WAY... THEY WILL NOT CONFIRM PURCHASE. DON'T GET CAUGHT IN THEIR BOX

Holy crap; the new UI is just awful (I say this as someone who has written consumer software for 40 years.

After the free trial I was immediately charged and the service abruptly STOPPED WORKING. Repeated phone calls to customer service went nowhere. When I followed their instructions I was presented with a pay up screen. I already paid up. No service. Lost my money and cancelled. They do NOT issue refunds!

I don't understand why I have to paid for Britbox if I want to watch it on my Laptop, why should I paid twice for Britbox on my TV and Laptop..

Seriously why is Britbox so slow and primitive? Don't tell me you can't develop a better interface than this. If Acorn were any better I'd switch but it's just as bad. Is this a British issue? Is it somehow related to Brexit? Please bring this thing up to 21st century user interface standards before I lose it and throw my remote through the tv.

I tried to watch a previous episode on a series but found the is no way to do this on Roku on a TV.

I wanted to watch some old episodes of Father Brown and BB was charging a fee despite the fact I have a subscription to BB. You can watch old stuff on Netflix as long as you have a subscription, which I did.

Horrible site, basic functionality missing, customer support non-responsive.
1. No search engine (probably unique on the world wide web)
2. Close captioning missing for some movies
3. Close captioning not in sync with the movie
4. Random episodes from various series missing

The problem I'm having is that once an episode of my series has ended, if I miss something, I cannot replay it. Every time I click on the episode, it flashes and then skips to the next. I see no replay option. I can't get it to start the episode over. Beyond frustrating.
