Acorn TV April updates: New additions and removals including Adrian Dunbar show

How does it compare to rivals Netflix and Britbox?

Acorn TV has plenty of movies and TV shows on its service, but sadly they don’t all stay forever.

Just as with Netflix, Prime and BritBox, Acorn sometimes takes shows off after a certain period of time.

These services rarely warn customers about what’s being taken off and when – which can be mighty annoying!

As a result, we’ve put together a list of everything being added and taken away from Acorn this April.

Thankfully, not much is being removed. However, who knows, it may just be something you’re in the middle of binging!

So take a look below and hopefully we’ll give you some peace of mind.

What is Acorn TV?

Acorn is a streaming service that was first launched in 2011.

The company has actually been selling UK-based television VHS tapes, and later DVDs and Blu-ray disks, since 1994.

However, it changed up as DVDs started to fall out of fashion and it relaunched in 2013 as a streaming service.

As a result, it now offers its subscribers access to many popular and highly acclaimed TV shows, documentaries, and TV movies.

Most come from the UK, however, some content has come from Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Mexico.
