BritBox won't play on AppleTV+

How can I resolve a problem with BritBox? We it watch via Apple TV+ application and for the last week or so the BritBox channel hasn’t been working. It won’t even start but we get a rolling wheel that indicates buffering.


I haven’t found a solution online either. Some suggested uninstalling and reinstalling BritBox but I can’t seem to do that. I figure this tip only applies to Apple TV (the physical device) and not Apple TV+ which is an application. AppleTV+ is up to date so the problem shouldn't be there either.


Apple TV+ itself works just fine, so the problem is definitely the Britbox channel. However, Britbox support suggested I contact Apple support, but I couldn't find any help for this kind of problem.

Unless someone else chimes in with a user-tried idea, I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance in one of these ways: contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).

Thanks for the links. Seems that I couldn't even find those on my own.


Support request for streaming problems seems to lead only to a refund request. But I want an actual solution for this problem, not just a refund. Seems also we don't have a chat or email available in Finland for this sort of problem since the refund request is the only support channel that opens in Finnish.
