Hi there,
I’m a long time user of AnyDVD HD, had a lifetime licence back in the SlySoft days, and bought a new licence under RedFox. Great software, still use it on occasion, THANKS! (I read it can do UHD disks these days? Maybe it’s time to try some of my collection!)
Now:
I’ve been thinking about AnyStream for a while. I wasn’t really sure if I’d actually use it, but now I’ve discovered that one of my childhood favourite TV shows appears to be on BritBox.
During the recent 100 year BBC Celebrations, they showed a single episode of Rentaghost.
I tried to find more on iPlayer, and failed. I own the Series 1 DVD set, however the rest have never been available for purchase, to my knowledge.
Then I found a link to BritBox. It would appear that the entire series is on there. I’d dearly love to have a “local copy” of this for nostalgic reasons. I’d MUCH rather be able to buy a DVD/bluray set, but failing that, I’m wondering if AnyStream will do the job. It’s quite a lot of money to shell out for one show, but I’m considering it. I’m not sure if I could get the lot down during the BritBox trial… I’ve never used BritBox, either.
Anyway, BritBox isn’t exactly one of the big streaming platforms, and is of course UK centric, so before going any further I wanted to check that BritBox works 100% with AnyStream, so I’d be able to download a local copy of this childhood favourite, and be able to watch it offline. I guess the stream would only be SD, so no UHD issues to get in the way. Actually it would be nice if it was streamed in HD with a higher bitrate, but in this case beggars can’t be choosers.
Assuming BritBox works well, should I consider running through a VPN? I guess there’s not much point if I’m signed up for an account, and have already provided them with a payment method.
Thanks for the feedback
TLDR; Does AnyStream work well with BritBox, right now?
EDIT: I should’ve asked. I do also have an Apple TV+ account. Any issues with that, or could I just grab a few shows from that too, for offline viewing?
I realise people have discussed these platforms, but I’ve also read of people having issues so just want to check that BritBox (and Apple TV) are stable / reliable before taking a chance.
Maybe I should just try the trial but…. AnyStream is on offer for only a short period longer Of course, if it’s likely that AnyStream will be on offer again for Xmas, then I have more time to test the trial version
EDIT 2: Is it recommended to use AnyStream with BritBox through Prime? Or maybe BritBox has its own web player?
Thanks so much for the info.
