Missing Episodes from TV Shows On Demand

Hello,

 

Does anyone know why Episode 10 -House of Lies is missing from Showtime On Demand. Episodes 1-9, 11, and 12 are there but not episode 10??!!. This is really peculiar and frustrating, no less.

 

Also on HBO, episode 4 of Game of Thrones is missing. How long does it take after the episode airs for it to be available on demand?

 

If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

Hi Radhiap!

Unfortunately, Verizon doesn't have control over what shows/episodes appear on any On Demand channels and it's usually up to the individual network. I completely understand your frustration because those are both great shows! I hope you can get the episodes soon. In the meantime, if you're on Twitter, follow @VzEntertain - Game of Thrones is one of her favorite shows and she talks about it all the time. She also has all the inside scoop on new releases and popular shows.

Thanks!

Ana,

 

While I understand and believe what you are saying, I also know for sure that I have seen complaints from other FiOS users that episode 123 or program xyz is not available on VOD, yet when I go to VOD that episode or show is there and I can view it. So sometimes there apparently are timing differences (and maybe other differences) between VHOs or DACs or wherever the VOD stuff is hosted.

Thanks, Justin. I actually wasn't aware of that so thank you for bringing that to my attention!

 

@Radhiap - Please keep checking to see if the episodes are there. I wish I had an explanation for you.

What do you think about this situation - over the weekend I went to watch the latest episodes of Fringe and Big Bang Theory so I normally go to the HD VOD channels and they were not there.  I checked the SD channels and they were there.   Go figure.

That's nit stricly true - verizon can get a mising show faster than a consumer if they speak to the networks. Or at least that is how comacast does it.
