BritBox is a premium streaming service for watching British content on your Apple TV. You can watch shows, movies, and much more content from different networks like BBC and ITV. If you have third or fourth-generation Apple TV models, you can install the BritBox app to stream all the available content.
On older models, the BritBox app is not available due to the lack of App Store support. Since Apple TV is compatible with Airplay 2 functionality, you can Airplay BritBox from your iPhone.
