How soon after an episode airs does it get uploaded to BritBox? I enjoy the panel shows like 8 out of 10, but I wasn't sure if I could watch live or even a few hours after it airs. Or if I'd have to wait for an entire season to conclude before it all gets put up, kind of like some shows on Hulu.

Can I buy this now and give it as a gift on Christmas, or is it tied to my email? My parents love British TV, so it would be a great present.

This is kind of my question too as I would like to send it as a a Christmas gift to my Mom.

I have a feeling that setting it up now, even if you create an account in their name and use your email (which you might be able to change over to theirs after Christmas) would work; the only flaw with that would/might be that the 1 year would start today rather than being able to activate it at Christmastime.

I made an earlier post about this and did ask BritBox about it via a ticket; if I hear back, I will post it here.

My concern with BritBox/Acorn is both seem to have shows that aren't complete - they will only have a few seasons and the rest will be on another service and it keeps changing.
I've tried both via Prime Channels ($1 sub deals come often) and noticed this.

Just signed up and a word of warning - the Britbox app is really bad compared to watching via Prime Channels. For British shows closed captions are a must and in the app they appear massive with no way to adjust the size etc, unlike on Prime. The rewind/ffwd is also much worse.

I regret doing this deal in a way now as cc is essential. I'd rather have sub'd via Amazon for 4-5 months and also use the deals they have.

When I got Britbox via Amazon, many shows had so many commercials it was unwatchable. I'm assuming going this route, the shows will be commercial free?

BTW, Line Of Duty is outstanding!
There aren't any ads with BritBox on Amazon video.

Subtitles can be turned on or off through bitbox itself also. And the size can also be adjusted.

Yeah, we watched Vera on BritBox and then other seasons were only available via Acorn - frustrating.
Can't remember which service it's on but highly recommend Life on Mars and its sequel Ashes to Ashes. There's some weird shit but not overwhelming

Doesnt work. I'm watching on Fire stick. You can only turn on/off, no size/font changes like in Prime. Here is a thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/BritBox/...ns_adjust/

This motivated me to finally sign up for it.

I recommend going through web browser to sign up. Create an account, then do an annual subscription, apply the promo code before charging.

If it processes successfully, check under Promo Codes for Status "Applied", then go to Billing history. If it says "$39.00", then you're good for a full year.

Some show recommendations:
Sharpe - Napoleonic era military drama starring Sean Bean (adventure type of show)

Agatha Christie's Poirot, and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple - Two very niche mystery characters that get plenty of seasons of whodunit episodes (personally I am a fan of Poirot)

Luther - Mystery show starring Idris Elba (believe me, with how many times he got shafted for his acting talents in movies, he's done prominent work in TV and this is one of his best)

Line of Duty - Recent good cop drama

"Any good comedy show starring Rowan Atkinson" (such as Mr Bean, The Thin Blue Line, Blackadder) - One of the best physical comedians imaginable, and Mr Bean alone is one of those universally good comedies

Fawlty Towers - Another good comedy show, though it does show its age

Father Ted - Another comedy show

House of Cards - Classic drama show that the US version (with Kevin Spacey) is based on; definitely worth a watch for something in a similar vein

Downton Abbey - Another drama that found its place on PBS, but is fully available to watch

Doctor Who - Yes, one of the big ones. Appears like Seasons 1 thru 26 are present here on the service (from 1963 to 1989). No sight of any nu-Who, though. And do NOT expect every episode present. There will be some missing, but anyone who is used to Doctor Who will be aware that not every episode of the series pre-2000 will be available.

Red Dwarf - Spacey/sci-fi comedy. It's good and niche.

Overall, these are a bunch of the real good British shows I was able to find in my digging around. I'm sure there's other gems in the mix and are encouraged by others to be recommended.
Thanks! Doing it on mobile is not working … let's add the best show Only Fools to the mix 😀

Are You Being Served

Classic goofy comedy. Grew up watching it in the 90s. Still good stuff.

Is Sherlock with Benedict on this one? Or Escape to the Country? I also watched Are You Being Served in as a kid in the 90's with my mom.

No. A late 1980s to mid 1990s variant starring Jeremy Brett is present. You're likely not going to see the likes of the new Sherlock or the newer Doctor Who on this service unless BritBox somehow manages to get permissions later.
