Itv x is broken- ads dont work

ITV X is broken. The number of times it has frozen at the end of ads is too many to count meaning we have to watch them again and again... and again. If this was a product it would have been sent back for a refund ages ago instead we have to endure this to watch the two series that are any good.

Xmas rubbish

I've never seen such rubbish presented to us by TV channels including those that are not free over Xmas.
Not only repeats but repeats from days before.
Not much festive spirit displayed unless on old programmes from my younger years.

I want to take the opportunity to…

I want to take the opportunity to clarify a few things about "Johnnys" review. I was there on site the time in question he comments about. Yes newletters were sent out I received one when the site changed, so how "Johnny" didn.t receive one I can not answer. As for calling him a freeloader YES he was. It clearly states on the site that it is not a free service and a donation is required to use the service. If you claim not to see it. You are blind at a bat. As for his comment regarding a fake name again it states on the site that you must use your real name on this site nicknames are not permitted. They must of had just cause regarding his name to bring it to the attention of so called "Johnny". It is clearly as case of this guy being in the wrong, and playing the victim for being pulled up on a few things because this guy clearly did not read things. I have been using the site for far more years than Johnny claims he has, and have the most upmost respect for the site. Yeah ok I agree that sometimes things are not always 100% but is life? Johnny needs to clearly stop playing the victim and admit he was clearly caught out for trying to use a service that is not for free for free, and he clearly did not read the site. This service is nothing but the best around.

Warning - rude and unprofessional admins!

I was a subscriber back in 2019 and was very happy at that time - I paid for weekly and/or monthly subscriptions, and although the streaming speed/quality was not always perfect, it was altogether a good product.

I logged back in a week ago, and it seems that the concept of the whole site has been changed, away from a regular subscription to a "donation" model. And by the way, the concept of proper behaviour in their tone obviously changed, too.
Problem is, you don't realise it if you have been away for a long time, and although I was still in their customers database (as my password worked), they never bothered sending out an email newsletter to notify their subscribers of new rules and paying concepts.

As I didn't find my way immediately through their new structure, I decided to have a peek into their current streaming quality and switched to BBC1. Boy, I got immediately rude (and unprofessional) messages through their so-called "social" board, calling me a "freeloader" who is using "fake names" . (...although I simply used my second name as screen name, and this was anyhow never a problem when I subscribed in 2019).

When I then dare to point out the error on their side and called them out on their rudeness, they didn't even bother to answer. So much for "professionalism".

Therefore, as other users have already rightfully mentioned here - this site is run by very rude people. If you are fine with that and have no problem with being attacked out of nowhere because they don't get their act together - go for it. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend you to stay away...

Rude and aggressive

Rude and aggressive. The person who runs this website clearly is socially, mentally and emotionally-challenged. Have a look at the replies to the negative reviews (including mine). Be warned that you will be verbally abused. Please channel your donations to other respectable websites who deserve your money.

Excellent British TV. Very happy indeed.

I have been very happy with this website for over two years, you can access all the British tv channels, including +1 channels. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to watch British tv from outside the UK. It's great value for money.

Worth every penny.

People who complain about this service are either born moaners or simply have an agenda to destruct. I have used this service for over 2 years. I have average internet speed of about 3Mps, sometimes not even 1Mps but still loads OK (Greece). If you have issues just flag up a problem (you have to be thick not to understand how it works) abusive complaints are not tolerated by those running the show nor should they be. Very rarely in extreme weather there are problems, in my time using the service it's been for just a very short time. It's a great service, a great price and a great product.

It was great....

It was great..... but I just don't have time to watch all that as well!

I'm commenting to support the guy / people from MBTV who answer those customers who don't know how to use the product, or have a personality disorder, or just an evil mind. It's just SO REFRESHING to see that they are willing to stand up to the one-starrers, most of whom are just nasty or dumb.

Good luck MBTV!

Quite simply ace :-)

Quite simply, the persons who have given this site one star did not give it a chance! I admit I had a few teething troubles early on but from there on it has been improvement all the way. I would actually give it a gold star award if there was one :-)

Why do you think we have support? Our support team is there 24/7 to help you but unless you contact us how are we to know you are having problems? Over 200 people enjoying the service then there's you who is using an internet connection that belongs in the 1980s! Sort out your own problems before gassing off to Trustpilot! We offer a service that works great but if you are using an internet connection of less than 1mb, you will have problems. All this is written on our forums and support pages, however, some people, like you, just cannot be bothered to help themselves. Good luck, you will need it.

Awful

Awful. Biased and inaccurate spin reporting on every channel with endless opinion pieces and mindless drivel.

Anyone who still watches TV in the UK is mentally deficient. Anyone with sense gets their media from the internet.

We do not control anything that is broadcast on TV. This review should be posted on one of the broadcasters pages, ie, BBC, ITV etc. We are just a community of TV fans and have no control on what you see on TV!

Top Notch Website

I am an Italian man, lived in England for a number of years then went back to Italy and realized how crap Italian tv is compared to the British one, so I ditched my tv set and started watching British tv on BritishChannels.com. I've been with them for 5 years now and to me they are the absolute best website offering UK television: 112 channels both available in HD Quality and SD, UK Soaps Catch Up Section, TV Guide, Radio and all at ridiculously low prices.
You can even register as an affiliate and get a commission on every sale you generate.
And if you have an issue they reply to you in a matter of seconds.
The website is run by a 2-men team, the Administrator and the Site Administrator who work hard to constantly improve their website and are always ready to assist their subscribers when needed. Every now and then, on the forum, they even tell us, subscribers, bits of their personal lives. That just shows how friendly these chaps are. Oh! And they are very generous and warm-hearted. Personally I have had the proof of their generosity on many occasions as they have taken every possible step to make sure I fully enjoy their website.
No wonder 73% of people here have rated British Tv Channels Excellent.

Love this site.

Love this site.
Love, love, love, love it! I joined for a month just to try it out and then purchased a lifetime membership. Best thing I have ever done. I've been with it over a year now and seen great changes.
This site is so professional, yet extremely friendly and helpful. If you have a problem you can post it on the forum and it is solved in no time by the owners.No waiting for return mails here.
They also let you know in advance if they have to work on the site and there could be some disruption for say 5 minutes. Which other site does that?
Very user friendly and great quality. Highly, highly recommended.

Dreadful

Dreadful, rude, and aggressive - just look at the some of their replies to their own customers posted on this website! Clearly, this is a backstreet business run by thugs. Avoid.

We did an article on this service a couple of months ago and the feedback has been incredible about the service provided. We first came across the website last year and bought a months plan for our staff TV which resulted in a lifetime plan. Flawless and the service has improved immensely over the past month with the addition of almost double the amount of channels that were available before. We at Spain's News would recommend this service to any expats looking to watch British TV abroad. Fantastic service and never lets us down.

Commented (not complained) last night that I was annoyed as wasn't able to watch BBC 1 - the answer : blocked my VPN address and refunded my 3 month subscription. Had been with them for over a year since Filmon TV decided to charge. I don't think I offended anyone by saying I was annoyed I couldn't watch the BBC but think that whoever is running this site must be overly sensitive. Hey ho they refunded me the money and I've since found another site but if they are going to refund the subscription and block people who COMMENT they won't have many customers soon.

Clearly states in the terms:

1. VPNs are prohibited.
2. Trying to use more than one connection at a time from different devices, ie, sharing or reselling your account is strictly prohibited.

You used a VPN.
You shared your connection with 12 other people.

You were banned for those reasons. You also used our service for just under 3 months and demanded a refund with 2 days to go before your renewal. You will remain banned and personally I would warn any other service to avoid giving you any service, you are a thief.

Where have you gone Britishtvchamnels.com

Would be a 5* as I was really enjoying watching uk tv abroad. But after the email went out saying it would charge subscribers (happy to do this along with everyone else. €1.50 a month so worth it). The site went down. I
Just hoping it's tempest and the owner hasn't thrown in the towel. Good site come back - I miss you !!

I have not been able to access your site all afternoon. On my Samsung pad or iPhone I have had no difficulties with other sites. I can't even reach the new forum to discuss this and I'm not on Facebook ☹️

I did all that. I put the name into the browser and the website stops loading half way in. On both devices. Really strange. I went on s webpage testing site and it said the site was down I have been doing all sorts all day to no avail ☹️ Sad and frustrated

No it Def said down earlier on the one I used I'll redo it all tomorrow and start by rebooting the router although I doubt that is the cause as I'm getting all the other tv channels I don't even use a vpn thanks for your replies I'm realy apreciating them☺

Morning. Rebooted. Modem. Still can't access your site on apple I phone or Samsung tablet. It was working fine before I got your pop up message yesterday regarding payment. Any suggestions ☹️

Site is not down and the charge of 1,50 each month is only a suggestion because the 1k a month for the streams is not being met. We still have 4 days but cant see it being met. 4,500 members, 1,500 of them are hidden through privacy settings. It is less than 30 cents per person to keep the streams. :(

Clear your browser cache and cookies. Working perfectly fine here in Spain.

Site is up >>> http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/britishtvchannels.com

Fake review from ArrowChat who installed software that broke our site. We complained and then they decided to DDOS our server. If you follow us on Twitter you can see the screenshot proof. Email received today from ArrowChat "Remove your reviews and we will remove ours". Email and headers sent to BBB and screenshot sent to TrustPilot on Twitter.

We do not have customer service, we are a free website and we do not answer emails. We have community groups, activity feeds and chat onsite where people help each other with problems. This review from the fake reviewer (ArrowChat) has changed his review twice. 1 star review for a free website from someone who we had bad business with!

First review, apparently our site has malware, badge on login page proves we certainly have not. Fake reviewer then changes his review to bad customer service, we do not have customer service. Apparently we ignored his emails, only email we have is from ArrowChat asking us to remove our reviews so they will then remove theirs! In all honesty, this is so blatantly obvious as a fake review can be, let it stay just to embarrass ArrowChat and TrustPilot.

Screenshot taken of this reply for when TrustPilot and their corrupt team remove it.
