I have another to add to the pile…

For the first time in a while, when contacting Comcast, I was able to get ahold of level 2 support.

According to him, the missing episodes of K-ON! are because they only have authorization to show them on the X1 app/ online.

I’m not so certain if it’s true or not, but there is a problem with that as well. The episodes which are available on both platforms can only be watched at home, while the App exclusive episodes can be watched anywhere as long as you have signal.

So, in conclusion, Comcast has the shows, but can’t air them on the X1 box :nauseated_face:

They’ve shown Akikan before, too - but it’s been a couple of years.

I have the entire K-ON series enjoyed both English and subbed. One of my favorite series along with ROD The TV and Aria the Animation, Aria the Natural and Aria the Origination.

An oddity - Frame Arms Girl episode 5 appears to be a little short (no pun intended). It’s run time is listed on the menu as 19 minutes instead of the usual 25 or so, and it cuts off in mid-sente

A second download attempt yielded the same results.

Can any of the other DTV customers confirm?

Thanks.

Yes, I was. (Can’t check right now, Channels 1889 and 1000 are unavailable.)

I can confirm that Frame Arms Girl episode 5 is damaged as described, and needs to be re-pitched.

Sorry about getting back to you late. Demon King Daimon (01) did show up – but the same cannot be said about Demon King Daimon (02).

Norn9 (03) did show up – but again, the same cannot be said about Norn9 (04).

Slowhand, not sure if you can email me directly to let me know if the person I mentioned in my message still works at AN. That individual was able to work out a process with Frontier regarding missing episodes since whatever method is being used now is not working. There has been no change from my last post listing over 60 missing episodes.

Report for October 12th 2017

Received
Yusibu Complete Series and OVA* (Aww Fino! I love her laugh!)

Not received
Yusibu episode 3
X1 box exclusive
K-ON! Season 1 Subbed episodes 5-8

Notes

Yusibu time! Lol

Comcast’s title is actually the full I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job. However, due to the length and depending on which menu you access, sometimes the title only goes to To or Get.

Currently there isn’t any thumbnail image for the series, so instead it has a placeholder:

The Yusibu OVA doesn’t have an episode number and is listed under Additional Episodes, which shows up before Season 1. The picture also shows the missing episode

Modification to report for October 12th 2017

Sometime between my report yesterday and right now more episodes of Yusibu have went missing.

The removed episodes are #6 and 8.

In addition, Nobunaga’s foolish episodes #16 and 21 have ventured on a journey alongside the absent Yusibu episodes. (They went bye bye too😉)

Some of this week’s new episodes have been loaded as they should be but not all of them. The bad news continues as none of the missing episodes reported for the past several weeks have been reloaded by Frontier (outside of possibly Uta No Prince Sama Ep 07 - how did this happen?). This continuing problem has resulted in several weeks of missing episodes - those from August 31 have now reached the end of their cycle and cannot be reloaded. September 7 and 14 are the next batch of missing episodes heading towards this same fate.

The list of over 60 missing episodes is shown below. I separated them by date according to the AN schedule in hopes this might make it easier to identify which shows need to be reloaded for each week.

Frontier continues to remove episodes at 12:01 AM Thursday rather than 12:01 AM Friday. If they are removing episodes prematurely, have you included this in your reports?

Slowhand, FYI, I sent a direct email to the AN contact yesterday as you suggested. I just have to hope for some type of action that can resolve this lingering issue of missing episodes.

Updates Received/Not Received 10/12/17 :: Time Warner Cable :: Albany, NY :: Zip Code 12203

Sorry, but “Time’s winged chariot” is about to run me over–and I’m standing on the ground. So, just

The short version:

All the episodes scheduled for this week got here, and none of the missing episodes (or movie) from 9/28 or 10/5 did. With Demon King Daimao #4, we switch from “DemonKing Daimao” to just “Demon King”, and AoharuxMachinegun #6 just sits there laughing at me. (If we have to have perpetual episodes taking up space, couldn’t we swap it for a bit with that equally immortal --that’s “immortal,”, not “immoral”–To Loveru episode that some people over on SVOD have hanging around? Just for variety’s sake?)

Thanks!
