This is what you are not understanding. AMC, is a premium US cable channel. It is in the same category as HBO, Showtime and Starz. These channels specialise in premium TV content, and, in the US, require extra payment for each of these channels over and above a standard pay TV subscription.

If adding AMC would cost the same to VM as adding one of the channels you mention (Home, Shed, CBS Reality, Quest, Home and Health, etc.) then you would have a very good point. But because AMC is a premium channel, it will cost VM a heck of a lot more than the channels that you mention.

But because at the moment it is mainly showing repeats, many of which are available elsewhere, it is not worth it's premium cost.

Your Amazon Prime and Netflix subscriptions are currently giving you way more current AMC shows than you'd get if VM added AMC.

• Into the Badlands Amazon Prime
• Turn Amazon Prime
• Halt and Catch Fire Amazon Prime
• Better Call Saul Netflix

Adding Now TV also gives people a fifth one, the Walking dead

I know that AMC in America is a premium channel, but is it also the case in the UK? Do BT subscribers have to pay an additional amount to get the channel or is it part of a bundle of channels?

They do have exclusive rights. It was BT's response to Sky having excusive rights to HBO.

I think you have to have BT Sports to see it on Sky

Noticed a new Romanian channel and Europe1 have appeared on there recently. More French channels would be welcome from me.

Can anyone give us the up to date list of channels that Virgin Media UK are broadcasting via WORLDBOX?

We need to get an TiVo reporter.
