Britbox. The worst streaming service anywhere. Without a shadow of a doubt the worst streaming service anywhere! It continually freezes, stalls and stutters and the content is pathetic. Let's give you an example. They've just added a new category called 'Old School Classics', and so I decided to binge watch the original Captain Scarlet series (Second childhood time). Episode one was great... brought back so many memories. So, onto episode 2. Guess what? There is no episode 2. The morons have only put the first episode of most of these old classics on, including Stingray, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Joe 90 and more. How dumb are these people? Seriously? Another annoying thing is that it often doesn't store your 'last watched' point, which means you have to restart an episode or movie from the beginning. Thank God for Netflix - at least they know what they're doing!

What an absolute shambles of an idea. Signed up to binge on Vera which seems to have vanished from ITV Hub. Watch series 1 to whatever on Britbox it said. So I did. Cannot get a single bloody episode on my Freeview play box. Come to that nothing on Britbox on Freeview player. Whoever came up with this shambles of a service should resign immediately. Subscription cancelled after less than 4 hours. Won't be coming back.......

Since Boxing Day, I stopped watching tv 'as it is broadcast live', because I was so bored with the content; BBC in particular. So, no longer needing a licence, I decided to put my money to better use and give Britbox a try, to catch up with programs I didn't get round to watching in the past. Personally, I think there is a huge amount to choose from; and I'm really enjoying the experience. Although, there are far too many really old films and series on it, whereas I would prefer more recent ones. I tried Netflix and Amazon in the past, but wasn't impressed with them either. Perhaps it works for me because I live alone, don't watch tv as well, and watch it on my lap-top, not a smart tv. I gave it three stars - 'average', because four stars jumps to 'great', and I wouldn't go that far.

I was enjoying The Hollow Crown, then it disappeared. Their customer service person told me I was mistaken and they never showed it, which was rubbish. Eventually another bright spark admitted it had been there but they removed it. I asked how hard would it be to add "watch by date". They thought that was brilliant. It isn't, it's common sense.

Downloaded this app to watch all episodes of Vera. We experienced loads of problems like having an error pop up on the screen with no details to what the error was. Then the episodes freeze like another review said more than 10 times an episode. Then the whole app froze meaning we had to remove it and reinstall it. Safe to say we won't be continuing the subscription. I also agree that this is a complete con having to pay for TV shows that we already pay for..

Content changes too quickly so you miss the end of series you have already started to watch : (

Turns out they've taken a bad idea and rolled it out with total incompetence. Customer service is dire. Content is lacking. Technically bad - hard to watch on a TV. Technically bad - poor quality of service with fast fiber.

Like the vast majority of ordinary British people I will not ever pay to watch BBC content TWICE. I am already legally required to pay ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS a year - whether I want to watch BBC or not and now they have the nerve to ask for more.
