Absolutely regarding HBO look at HBO Nordic for example lots of content on there that isn't HBO.

My thoughts exactly. I only want the service for the Warner Brothers film library as well as my childhood Hanna Barbera/Cartoon Network favourites.

Compare to the US version of Britbox - now that is worth £6pm.

That's nothing like all the content that will be on there.That was just a sample of old BBC comedy stuff. There will be much more of that, including dramas, and all the ITV and Channel 5 programming.

Best to reserve judgement until you've seen the full offering.

Correct, but that was in answer to the post that Britbox wasn't available in the UK.

Virgin have not made any announcements about Britbox being on their platform, but there is nothing unusual about VM keeping everything close to their chests.

There are plenty of posts on here about whether we will get this channel or that channel, and it will be no different for streaming services.

I don't believe that any content aggregator worth their salt would omit to add a streaming service owned by the two biggest terrestrial channels in the UK. I am pretty sure that Sky, VM and BT will carry this service.
