How can I watch The Walking Dead online?
October 13, 2012 9:37 AM

Dish Network has unfriended A&E, so how's a guy supposed to watch season three of The Walking Dead? Do I have any options to watch episodes online? I know I can either (a) get rid of Dish, or (b) wait a year for the season to show up on Netflix, but are there any choices out here? I am willing to pay for the content, if necessary. Thanks!

It's $43 bucks for the season in HD on iTunes.

At one point, Dish was talking about instituting a program that would reimburse viewers of Breaking Bad for the episodes that they purchased online from Amazon. I don't know if they did it or not, but it's maybe worth a call to Dish to see if something like that is in place for the Walking Dead?

Edit: AMC rather than A&E.

Thanks for these suggestions. Looks like it's Amazon for me.

Are you guys seeing something I'm not? The only thing I'm seeing on Amazon for season 3 is a brief EPK piece about the make-up in the series. As far as I know, AMC has held back internet offerings for the current season because of the DISH dispute, to encourage subscribers to leave DISH.

That's because Season 3 hasn't aired yet.

There was an article on Consumerist where a called up Dish about the Walking Dead and they sent him a roku and gave him a bill credit for enough to buy it on amazon. This is similar to what they were doing for people who wanted Breaking Bad.

So call Dish up first, you may get it for free.

Probably no subtitles on the streaming options, right?
