The concept of Britbox is seriously flawed IMO
i dont get this argument? britbox has ITV and channel 4 footage?

The licence fee pays for BBC shows to get made and be put to air on the BBC televsion channels. The BBCs arrangement with content makers usually allows them to have a show also on iPlayer for 30 days after it airs terrestrially. After that, the BBC makes other income selling shows to other parties ie Netflix or DVD box sets. BritBox is kinda positioning to be a streaming replacement for DVD box sets of ITV and BBC content. Did you used to go into HMV and say 'my license fee paid for Dr Who im going to walk put with the DVD thanks'
