I also have a Roku streaming stick, allowing me access to Now TV with its Sky Atlantic and ITV Encore programming.
Now, of course, I am lacking access to AMC programming, and so the pressure to have more and more boxes and devices to access everything increases yet again. It really makes me mad!

I think in reality, with the services you have now (which is useful to know BTW), there is only really Fear of the Walking Dead that is an issue, which will be on Prime next year anyway.
I think all the other shows are available via Prime or Netflix, though Rectify (and maybe a few other titles) will require the use of a service such as Unblockus.
Because Amazon already had the rights to a couple of good AMC shows (Turn and Halt and Catch Fire) before the BT deal (and will keep those rights), for people using streaming services, BT's AMC channel is pretty unimportant. But for BT, it is very good PR.
