Cracking the Code: BritBox on Amazon – Is it Worth Your Coin? (Spoiler: Maybe Not Anymore)
You wonder about BritBox on Amazon. The big question is: “How much will this cost?” Well, the answer is not so simple, especially in 2024.
The Price Point: BritBox via Amazon Prime Video Channels
If you planned to add BritBox through Amazon Prime Video, the cost was $7.99 per month. There was also a brief seven-day free trial to try British TV. That was how it worked.
Adding BritBox to Your Amazon Prime Universe
The process was easy. BritBox served as an add-on to your Amazon Prime Video subscription. Imagine picking a magazine at checkout. Instead of glossy pages, you got British TV shows.
Standalone BritBox vs. Amazon Prime: A Tale of Two Services (or Just One Now?)
Now it gets confusing. You might ask, “Can I get BritBox standalone through Amazon?” Sadly, the answer is: Nope, not anymore. It’s hard to find a landline in 2024—possible somewhere, but rare.
BritBox’s Vanishing Act (on Amazon Prime)
The news is clear: BritBox UK, in its standalone form on Amazon Prime Video, is gone. Both the Amazon Prime version and standalone BritBox UK app are closing down in 2024. They are streamlining. If you wanted BritBox separately on Amazon, it’s too late.
Free Trials and Sweet Deals? (Don’t Get Your Hopes Up)
Bailing Out: Cancelling BritBox on Amazon (If You Still Can)
If you subscribed to BritBox through Amazon Prime before, and now you wish to cancel, here’s how:
- Go to “Manage Your Prime Video Channels“. Use this link: https://www.amazon.com/myac
- Find “Prime Video Channels” in account settings.
- Locate the BritBox subscription you wish to cancel.
- Click “Cancel Channel” and confirm. Think of it as your digital “Dear John” letter.
BritBox Alternatives on Amazon? (Spoiler: Look Elsewhere)
If you want to stick with Amazon and find a BritBox alternative? Since BritBox will not be on Amazon anymore, there’s no direct substitute. But there are other places to look for content.
BritBox’s New Digs: ITVX is the Word
The big change? BritBox has moved. Its new home is ITVX. Yes, the app and website are now old news. To enjoy BritBox content, go to ITVX. You’ll need an ITVX Premium subscription.
BritBox on Roku and Beyond
If you loved Roku, BritBox on Roku cost $6.99 per month, following a 7-day free trial. This gives a rough idea of prices for similar services, though things are changing.
ITVX Premium: BritBox 2.0?
Let’s discuss ITVX Premium. This subscription will cost about the same as BritBox did. The good news? You get not just BritBox content but more entertainment overall. It’s like BritBox with added features. That’s where the content now lives.
BritBox and Friends: The Streaming Service Posse
Interestingly, BritBox partnered with STARZ. For $14.99 a month, you can get a subscription that offers access to both STARZ and BritBox. If you enjoy both, this could be a smart deal.
Sharing is Caring (BritBox Edition)
Good news for families or housemates: BritBox is generous with sharing. Up to 4 devices can log into one account at the same time. You, your partner, friends, or even the cat can binge together. But with the switch to ITVX, check if these terms still hold.
BritBox UK: The Grand Transition
Let’s recap the UK situation. The BritBox app and website close at the end of April 2024. BritBox’s new home in the UK is now ITVX. If you had an annual BritBox subscription, that will be smoothly transferred to ITVX Premium. It’s like an upgrade to a fancier train car—same end goal but hopefully a better experience.
In short, while BritBox on Amazon might soon be part of streaming history, British television continues at ITVX. Adjust your subscriptions and keep calm while streaming!
