Yes it does. The expiration date is under the “Details” tab of each episode.

Yep. 4/6/19 Same expiration date as mine.

Frontier definitely has the AKB 0048 episode 2 from the HD upload schedule.
Now to ask if it’s a mix up for one episode or will Frontier soon have the same setup as Comcast / Shaw / Cox / AT&T / Verizon

Thats another one of the HD schedule series.

Can you confirm expiration dates of 4/12/2019 for those episodes?

Frontier is in the process of transitioning to the SVOD HD format.

That means you’ll begin receiving complete series and longer content times.

For the present, please use the Comcast/Xfinity blog/schedule.

I’m not positive on the exact date for this transition to be complete, but it’s soon. So for now, please use a mix of your Frontier schedule & the Comcast schedule, until the transition is complete.

Thank you,
Slowhand

Thank you! Finally, more and better content that doesn’t expire within a month. I can watch an episode or an entire series over and over, it’s there a lot longer now. What took Frontier so long to offer it this way like Xfinity?

Before I ramble on, @Renton721, sorry for any confusion that was caused by my messages. Was just trying to help clarify what was going on with your cable platform.

Anyhoo…

I think it was that Xfinity was the test platform to work out the kinks of uploading entire series at a time. Remember, Comcast didn’t have ANOD until October 2016 and it started with the HD schedule.

Here was the first info I received about the HD schedule, thanks to @spazzysam:
https://forums.theanimenetwork.com/t/minnasan-tadaima-n-n/9822/11

A while back, Slow and I had a conversation about this when COX switched over to HD, and we both thought eventually all companies with SVOD will be doing the same thing, with FVOD either being phased out, or switching to HD SVOD.

My guess to why it’s taking so long to roll out on other platforms could be either software related, or rewording of contracts and agreements to allow entire series to run all episodes at the same time.

Frontier FIOs 90505 (CA)

Slowhand, appreciate the update. At this time, I can tell you Frontier in the LA area has not made the transition to the SVOD HD format yet. However, oddly enough, I noticed Initial D: The Movie - Legend 2: Racer was added earlier this week.

Since none of the previously reported missing episodes from April 5 and April 12 have been added by Frontier, I hope the transition happens soon since they are down to the prior 2 weeks of episodes based on the normal show rotations.

It has been an interesting day

  • at 4 PM MST nothing new had been added but the shows remaining from last week were still there.
  • at 7 PM TAN channel was not available, neither was any other On Demand channel I tested.
  • at 11:30 PM TAN channel is not available, but others are.

Make of that what you will. We will see what tomorrow brings.

As of 7:00am this morning none of the 4/19 updates have been received. Only the six (6) non-listed episodes were added during this week. Now down to 26 episodes listed. Let’s hope Frontier fixes the problem or launches the new format. At least I can mirror HiDive to my t.v. in the interim.

DirecTV Indiana 46544, as of 12 noon EDT on April 20, 2018…

Good news, and not-so-good news…

The good:

  1. Programming that should have been delivered on April 5, 2018 has finally appeared in its entirety, pending successful download. Expiration date for the first item successfully downloaded is May 3, 2018.
  2. Programming that should have been delivered on March 29, 2018 has partially appeared. Expiration date for the first item successfully downloaded is April 26, 2018. Two items from this batch remain missing (see “Not-so-good” for details).

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Programming that should have been delivered on April 12, 2018 remains AWOL.
  2. Programming that should have been delivered on April 19, 2018 remains AWOL.
  3. There are two missing items from the programming that should have been delivered on March 29:
    • Engaged to the Unintended, episode 3
    • Guardian Ninja Mamoru, episode 10
  4. Expiration dates on content that was delivered late has not been adjusted to allow for normal 4-week access. This means that there are less than six days remaining to view the March 29 content that has arrived, and for the March 29 content that has not yet arrived, well…

At this point, I would normally thank those who made all this happen, but at the moment that is not what I wish to express. I’ll leave it at that, since the people for whom I have harsh words don’t read this board and would never see them.
