Britbox and ITVX question

mikef — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 14:10:08 GMT

HI - I subscribe to Britbox through BT TV, and I know that Britbox is not taking new subscribers, they are asked to go to the new ITVX service.

Will we be migrated to ITVX, or able to log into ITVX, at any time?

cheers

ITVX is a new subscription - I've not heard any migration plans.

But when I cancelled my Britbox account - I was given a 13 month discount code to start my ITVX subscription.

Cheers, from what I read having an ITVX subscription gives you Britbox access...maybe I'll do that

It doesn't really give you access to Britbox - but has the content which Britbox has.

@mikef @ozsat I understood ITVX was free to watch, just the 'ad free' version which is subscription.

The premium stuff transferred from Britbox is NOT in the free service.

It is probably best to see how ITV describe their new ITV X service - wrt to Britbox some questions are addressed at

Note that the ITV rollout of ITV X onto some platforms has not occured yet and some have launched with reduced features and indeed without HD.

@ozsat agreed
