Yeap, that’s it.

My mother is loving her Britbox, too. I was over there yesterday and she said she was able to watch 1 hour of BritBox w/o it buffering so I didn't order Acorn. However, if it begins happening again we'll order the Acorn for a month the next time I'm there and possibly a wifi extender.I assume that's this site, I will check it out - thank you, Liz!
I'll be interested in what you find out.
I am finding so much to watch on Britbox I will never see it all so not tempted to pay for acorn but a free month could be fun.

I just saw Acorn offered again on Prime but now it was a one-week free trial instead of one month.
for anyone interested in watching Picard, CBS all access is currently having a free trial. as of yesterday; no idea how long it will last.

I just watched two seasons of Hidden on Acorn - Charles' pick. It was good if you like detective/PD small town stories.

That's a good idea. I will do that. Right now, she's not watching anything streaming as she just got her power back and is enjoying cable.
UPDATE: BritBox began buffering 5 minutes in. When I go over there (probably Sunday) I'll bring my tablet to run the speed test.

I've been watching Poirot on Britbox and it's awesome. I recall seeing the same actor playing Poirtot on PBS but seems like he was less dignified or something. (it was still excellent)
Dh finished Absentia and moved on to Tales From the Loop, an Amazon series. I finished Merlin and am currently watching the Last Kingdom on Netflix.

We had Acorn for, I think, $5/mo added to Prime. But then…we changed cell phone carriers and they included Prime for free. But, we couldn't add to that. So now we are going without most of those.
We like all the detective stuff. Murdoch Mysteries and The Heart Guy (not a mystery) were favorites. But we also watched Doc Martin and other Martin Clunes shows, Agatha Raisin, Miss Fisher’s Mysteries, Rumpole of the Bailey, were “trying on” 800 Words, and more.
We’re both watching Outlander on Netflix. I’m watching Vikings (a History Channel series on Amazon)

I need more data! What speed are you paying for and are you getting close to that speed on a wired connection(ethernet)? Are you getting what you are paying for in the first place? A 10mbps drop from at the router to the TV in another room is not horrible but you can probably lose less if you have a repeater/extender.
