Weeds is on a whole bunch of Netflix regions, though not UK.

We have not seen the list in full or have an DNP Order on it.

You and theone could both be right; plans change all the time and often channels seem to be added very rapidly.

I'll take my bow now i said that this was coming in last quarter of 2015, glad your sources confirmed it though as was thinking about tying my source to a one way rocket to the sun

What makes you say that? VM viewers get the regular BT Sport chanels in HD. Incidentally, AMC is not part of BT-owned Plusnet's TV offering. I suspect it will appear on both VM and Plusnet at the same time. #vagueprediction

Im not up to speed in how BT is sold on plusnet; if its direct then I can see them getting it.

VM is a totally different kettle of fish with its wholesaling of BT I can really see them holding onto this one like what Sky have done with Encore and Atlantic. They are in it to get customers from VM/Sky for their broadbands they arent likely to hand over their baragining chips that easily for a few extra quid on a wholesale agreement

Plusnet includes BT Sport 1 in its basic pack but charges an extra fee for the full BT Sport pack. Neither Plusnet's basic pack or its BT Sport pack currently includes AMC.
Plusnet sells these channels directly to the public so in effect it is acting as a wholesaler like VM. Except Plusnet is owned by BT!
ITV Encore and AMC are different from Sky Atlantic in that they're not owned by broadcasters and have simply taken a sum of money to be exclusive for a period of time.

Any news on ITV Encore anyone? Launched on 9 June 2014. If the period of Sky exclusitivity was for 18 months, it could conceivably launch on other platforms this December.

Not seen anything on itv encore as of yet nor have i seen anything new on history hd yet, ofcourse i will let you guys know if/when i get new information.

AMC is going to be on VM by the end of the year i don't know if HD version will though.

They'll probably wait until there's actually a half-decent selection of UHD content available to them.
