BritBox, the streaming service borne of a partnership between British television networks BBC and ITV, is the place where you can go to watch classic pieces of British TV and new series.

The BritBox app is available on most smart TVs, and installation is fairly simple for each of them, even though the methods of installation are slightly varied depending on what brand you have.

How to get BritBox on your smart TV

Fire TV

If your TV is not listed here, that means that the BritBox app is not yet available for your brand. However, this does not mean that you can't watch BritBox on your TV — if you subscribe through Amazon Prime or Apple TV, instead of directly on BritBox, you can watch via those apps instead.
