You said that there were many people who loved watching programmes over and over. You can't have it both ways.

1/ The reason Britbox will fail is one the streaming market is already too deeply concentrated with other streaming services.
2/ How many streaming services do you think people can afford? as there is only so much money that swirls around in people pockets and Britbox is a little pygmy in the land of giants.
3/ People are already paying for much of the content that will be on Britbox.
And there are several other reasons beside.

Britbox is no i-Player and has had to change its remit to try to survive in the competitive streaming world.
