I love it. It seems to be free to me with some other service I have.

I don't happen to own a regular TV, and I watch lots of shows on the internet. The best part is: no commercials. How fantastic is that?

I sort of cycle through streaming services. I also had Acorn for ages. Britbox has more content than Acorn and it seems things that were on Acorn first ended up on Britbox later (and vice versa frankly).

I am thinking of suspending Britbox for awhile and shifting to MHz Choice for more international content. Wpuld be happy to hear any thoughts on MHz.

Cooking, comedy, travel Like BB, but less content, but there are only things on zacorn I like to watch. But, I wish there were more. BB seems to add more. Midsomer Murders is on Acorn, not BB. Agatha Raisin on Acorn, not BB.

especially the mysteries.

Bonus: It appears that most of their stuff is recorded in 4K. Man, what a picture if you have the right set.
