    according to posters on Digitalspy there is the possibility the AMC will be available as part of the BT sport pack on sky for 19.95. I wonder will a similar arrangement happen here and it become available on the Setanta pack? It definetly wont be on Sky for now.

    Thanks for your email Keith. AMCtv is not part of the Setanta offering here. I understand that to be a UK only deal that applies to the BT TV service.

    Rgds,

    It's showing the dreaded this programme is not available message so not looking good for the Setenta pack customers.

    Not available in Ireland as far as I know :( .. I would imagine there are rights issues with RTÉ and TG4.

    I hope this doesn't launch here. That would be another excuse for a price rise. Any programmes on it will be picked up by an Irish channel.

    Considering that it is testing on satellite atm I doubt it will be BT Youview only.

    It doesn't look like it is launching here - this will make it one of the few UK TV channels not available here in any way shape or form.

    Yep, this along with Premier Sports (well just the GAA bit) would be among the only channels not available here.

    Strange one. I wonder does AMC hold Irish rights to any of the programmes?

    RTÉ have walking dead rights (that might include argue new spin off) and of course TG4 had Breaking Bad... This could very well why we won't be getting it.

    forgive my ignorance but if it is only going to be available to bt tv customers why would it be testing on astra?

    It's like the local uk tv channels that are broadcast on Satellite that are blocked outside their intended region so I suppose they will do the same with amc and limit it to bt customers in the uk.

    Apologies it will be free to customers in the uk who subscribe to the bt tv platform and to customers who pay for the bt sport back on the sky tv platform.

    What does this mean for Fox TV that broadcasts (or broadcasted) Walking Dead the day after it premiered on AMC in the states?

    It will have no impact, that will continue as normal. It's just Fear The Walking Dead that FOX do not have the rights for.

    AMC has been added to epg no 192 for BT sport customers in the uk but has not been added to the irish epg as was predicted. I have it tuned in through other channels and I can now view it as I have the Setanta pack. Apoligies I can't remember tne frequency for tuning it in.
