Looks like stuff is beginning to happen. Channel 1889 is back, and as of this posting it is showing some content:
Under āMissed it? Watch nowā
- Amagi Brilliant Park 12
- Golden Time 20
Under āGirl Powerā
- Novice Alchemist 12
- Princess Principal 2
- Spy Classroom 3 and 4
Under āSuper Happy Fun Timeā
- Amagi Brilliant Park 10 and 12
- Bibliophile Princess 1
- Golden Time 20
Mixed results on the 3 links to individual shows from the main screen.
- The link to Princess Principal 2 works, taking you to the options screen for that program.
- The link to Hakumei and Mikochi takes you to the wrong program (Princess Principal). This may be because there is no H&M content currently available. Or not. Weāll know more if/when H&M content appears later in the day.
- The Link to Spy Classroom takes you to the options scree.for episode 3 for that program. I donāt use those links, so I canāt say whether the link is working as intended. It is possible that it shouldāve taken you to a list of the available chapters for that program.
Given the timestamps on Whalerās and Snakesā posts, it is possible that we may be in the midst of a data load now. If so, we may see more content as the day progresses. Or not, depending on how their processes work (as in, do individual episodes appear as they are uploaded, or do groups of eps appear once after the data transfer process from InDemand completes)ā¦
I have not yet tried to view any of the currently available content, but will check the first few minutes of each for presence of intro and content and report.
Things are better. Not good, but better.
As always, thanks to all who make it happen.

Follow-up to post from 13:30: All content mentioned in that post was downloadable/viewable; all had intros/outros. No additional content was noted.
Now.
@Slowhand sez: āIām hoping that with tomorrowās new content, itāll help push through the rest.ā
Iām not privy to their test plan, so I donāt know what DTV/InDemand was actually trying to do today so I donāt know what (if any) success that mightāve had.today. Iād consider it a reasonable success if tomorrowās scheduled content actually shows up tomorrow - it has been consistently late (showing up on Saturday or Sunday) back before it stopped showing up at all, Getting prior weeksā content, IMO, could be considered gravy.
With that in mind, I would ask TAN to consider issuing us DTV users a limited-time complimentary subscription (guest pass?) to HIDIVE that would allow us to fill in all of those storyline gaps. Not requiring a credit card to access it would be highly preferable. I donāt think the normal trial subscription process would work for those of us who had already used it prior to the outage, and it really isnāt right to have to pay for content that weād already paid for via our DTV subscription.
Iād appreciate an answer from the TAN higher-ups about this, even if itās only to tell me to go pound sand. Thanks.

Since last posting, one program has appeared: The Eminence in Shadow #2 from the expected posting from Nov. 16 (today). Note that, per @Slowhandās post there shouldāve been a total of 13 programs received today/.
That means there are a total of nine programs presently available, spanning the expected postings from Oct. 26 (3), Nov. 2 (3), Nov. 9 (2) and Nov. 16(1).
Note also that all content that shouldāve been received back on Oct. 19 (we didnāt get ANY of that) would be slated to be removed from our content list at 20:00 EST tonight.
Perhaps it is time to establish a āSpoilers For DirecTV Users Who Got Hosed Out Of TAN Contentā to fill us in on the gaps in the storylines of the several series that were affected by this (one month and counting) outageā¦
