Comment on 500,000 households cancel TV licence putting BBC future in jeopardy
kaitco@lemmy.world 1 week agoAs a yank who has perused…and may also have been known to use a VPN to change countries to watch various things…I’ve compared the two and BritBox isn’t really the same. A fair amount of things are available sometimes, but it’s just not fully comparable.
They should sell the full service to the rest of the world like it’s presented to the locals. I’m sure there’s some Brit expats who might love to have it properly available to them.

You’re right. They hide their shame from curious limeys by geoblocking britbox.com, but a vpn trip to Texas reveals it looks like a load of old shit on offer (Twenty Twenty Six is probably good though)
So as for they should sell the full service to the rest of the world, I agree. i suppose it’s licensing issues or they’d be doing it already? Much of their programming is not made not in-house but by external production cos
