i have both but i much prefer british tv to anything on us tv. pickings can be slim, it doesn't have anywhere near the options of netflix or amazon but i'm happy with what is there. i'm not really sure if one is better than the other, probably britbox has a bit of a bigger selection. britbox user interface does some odd things from time to time and is a bit clunky but it works.

for some reason i am also attracted to these british panel shows like QI so i find a few of them on youtube as well, 8 out of 10 cats, etc.

Acorn TV has more non-British content like "Murdoch Mysteries," "The Code" and "The Brokenwood Mysteries."

BritBox has the most recent (currently airing in UK) series of "Vera."

It's a toss-up for me.

P.S. there's is quite a lot of British content on Hulu as well.
