Ok , I'm a pessimist and I heard that "Comedy Central" is going to join the new BBC/ITV subscription platform.
Assuming this to be true does anyone know if they will leave Now tv as an incentive for people to subscribe to the new BBC/ITV service ? If this were true its goodbye "Comedy Central" for me !

@Anonymous User Glad to hear you are on the mend as well. 😊
I don't suppose it supports chromecast? Can't see anything on the help pages and if I ever took the plunge to trial it, I don't want to just watch on my phone. 😂

Hey Guys
I read in the London Evening Standard yesterday that Channel 4 and Channel 5 are joining Britbox.
Although Channel 5 was mentioned in the LES paper it's not mentioned in this online article.

However, this link from last month mentions Channel 5.
I wonder what they can see that we can't?
May be the US Market.

There are definitely Channel 5 programmes on there, they were added earlier in the week. Mostly factual stuff.
Channel 4 joins next year https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BritBox

Other devices and platforms will follow although no timetable has been given. The current catalogue is only a small part of what will ultimately be available at full launch, expected to be late November or early December. They have just recently came out of their beta phase. It looks good on Apple TV 4K.

The link more or less is stating the 'best British content available on Britbox'
So the likes of South Park etc. will be staying put.
From my understanding of BritBox is that the channels will still get the first run and normal catch up for a period of time, then after that it will move onto BritBox.
