Discovery+ has in the last few days had a major overhaul of their app so quite possibly any delay was due to the implementation of the new improved service.

The licence fee pays for BBC shows to get made and be put to air on the BBC televsion channels. The BBCs arrangement with content makers usually allows them to have a show also on iPlayer for 30 days after it airs terrestrially. After that, the BBC makes other income selling shows to other parties ie Netflix or DVD box sets. BritBox is kinda positioning to be a streaming replacement for DVD box sets of ITV and BBC content. Did you used to go into HMV and say 'my license fee paid for Dr Who im going to walk put with the DVD thanks' |

If say Britbox had new episodes of say Eastenders, Casualty, Doctor who etc the day after airing then it would certainly be value for money as it'd eliminate the need for a tv licence for people wanting to watch some bbc shows on demand. Difference between buying a dvd and streaming is you own that dvd with streaming the programme could get removed at anytime sometimes without warning. |

Don't you pay twice for some BBC content whenever it's shown on non BBC channels or iPlayer though?
No one has objected to Gold and the other channels over the last few decades. |

ITV could do the same too with their shows for me that would certainly make Britbox value for money, as it currently stands it is poor value for money especially given the content is on other channels too. I do object to GOLD btw it should be FTA. |

It doesn't matter how you look at it Britbox is charging you to watch repeats of programs that were free first time around - what a bargain ---------- Post added at 19:39 ---------- Previous post was at 19:38 ---------- Quote:

Besides, even if it was a subscription, you still wouldn’t acquire any ownership or right to future viewing of the content, any more than you do when Sky makes a programme. If that show later turns up on a channel outside of your subscription package, you don’t get to see the repeat showing. |

You'd still need one if you was to watch live tv, it is more as a option for those who want on demand only there'd be no live streams on it. |
