Anime Network VOD Reports/Updates/Questions Thread (2014)

DirecTV zip 55433

Thanks to Joe’ diligence, I will have to check channel 1000 when I get home tonight. As with everyone else, I am VERY disappointed :angry: with the updated VOD menu, but that is not TAN’s issue but DirecTV’s Will be getting on the DTV forum and bitching LOUDLY as my next task. :frowning: :angry:

Update: I’ve posted a set of questions on the DTV support forum (http://forums.directv.com/community/directv_on_demand). I would think that the more of us that post there, the more likely it is that we’ll get noticed.[/quote]

Posted.

The new layout might be tolerable if selecting Action Zone were to display the list of that category’s seven series over on the left, and then selecting a series would display its four available episodes. Ditto for the seven series under Girl Power and the four under SHFT.

That is the way DirecTV is doing it for big networks.

Can I disagree with you? Anything that adds clicks to the record process is counter-productive, in my view.

This is probably all I should say about DTV’s VOD design here, because it’s probably not the proper place for it.

Two updates missing this week:

MM! ep. 5
Photo Kano 4

One early episode:

MaraHolic ep. 8

Thanks!

Aye! That short utterance of an exclamatory phrase pretty much simplifies my frustration for this week. :stuck_out_tongue: TAN has been on the fritz otherwise I would have had this out a day earlier. Anyway, there are no updates for this week yet again.

I don’t know why all these problems have arisen. Wave last year had such a good track record, but now ever since the new year started we have been more miss than hit. But, not just misses… major misses! Something is definitely up lately.
:huh:

I will keep this as a friendly reminder to put in a note for the Wave Broadband VOD schedule to be fixed and have all SVOD content entries removed. If Sober gets the time to correct it… that would be great! Thank you as always.

Well… All of this week’s update showed up on The Anime Network channel sometime on Saturday. I figured I would let everyone know.

Also… What’s up with the site? Are you guys trying to match with new interface? Just curious.

Got all the shows, and when I checked this morning the new shows were showing up on channel 1889, albeit through the new crappy VOD interface. The shows scheduled to expire were still showing up as well. Probably won’t drop off until tonight.

From last week, MM! ep 5 is still missing but Photo Kano ep. 4 showed up today.

For this week everything has arrived except Dog & Scissors ep. 4 and Fantasista Doll ep. 6.

Thanks!

Dittos to what falingtrea said.

DTV-centric stuff follows - I’ll try to keep it brief, and thanks for humoring me…

Thanks to those who responded to my post on the DirecTV forum. At least as of today (a week later), you were the only ones who have. For what it’s worth, I updated the original post with observations from today’s download, where I may have answered one of my questions about the inconsistent appearance of “ready for playback” icons. Condensed version-the icon seems to disappear when you place the cursor over the recorded episode, and comes back after you move the cursor elsewhere.
