Ultra HD was pushed on me very heavily yesterday when i rang up about my issue i politely more than once pointed out i nly have a 1080p tv. Probably why they got arsey and asked for a deposit lol.

It's a bit pre-emptive to call BT's ultra HD channel remaining a BT exclusive as no other UK platform can display this at the moment. 
Despite the swirl of rumours, my optimism in AMC arriving has fallen off a bit but not totally following a bit of research. Specifically, the other distributors for BT Sport (Plusnet and Setanta) aren't offering AMC.
But let's see what the end of the month brings.

That did make me laugh, just goes to show even though there is a valid technical reason why you don't want Ultra HD they still try and push it.
You should have said if they buy you a nice 4K TV then you'll consider it

Rumours are one thing , actual substantiation of those rumours is another OB.

I know, Den, but I think this rumour is more solid than some we see on here.
As I've said before, BT are not Sky and I think they will do more to break down barriers and make channels more accessible to consumers who are not on the BT platform.

No info on package was given but i think it will be in XL maybe as some sort of sweetner for none sports fans.
Also from what i've seen scattered about the net BT will be showing some AMC stuff on BT Showcase too.

Yes sounds like an inconsistent message and I was suspicious as out of contract on all 3 services...
|
Yes, TV/BB/Phone, all out of contract, just reduced TV. No contract letter so far.

No problems with the agent, she was "friendly and helpful" indeed. I can't comment on good her knowledge of her own anatomy is until a letter arrives, or doesn't.

Looks like theone2k10 has now confirmed it will be coming to VM! I've assumed that the remaining BT Sport Extra channel testing is in fact AMC.

Forgive me but I thought they were red button channels in test for BT rather than a standalone channel
