Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

Depending on pricing it could put a dent on BritBox UK take-up given the paid version includes access to BritBox UK content.

And it includes films (150 available at any one time) and third party TV content from likes of WarnerMedia.

BritBox UK specifically, they still have their stake in BritBox outside of UK.

Agreed

I can't help but wonder about the pronunciation...

It's become laughable now. Peak ridiculousness.

How many freakin' streaming services do we need for the UK concentrating on UK broadcasting output?

a) You don't get the Britbox content with the Free tier, and b) they haven't revealed the subscription price for the Paid tier. Hence why I said it depends on the price.
