Past Seasons Episodes of TV Series

Why to I have to pay to watch last season's episodes on channels that I subscribe to and pay for anyway?!  Especially last year's season?  This does not seem right.  I don't think this is how it was previously?!! 

It is the norm and has been for many networks for a long time. Only the last few episodes of the current season will be free. After that, they move to PPV. It's not entirely Comcast's fault. It's the networks themselves that set the conditions.

  • Latest episode from TV series "Lies

    Latest episode from TV series “Lies & Secrets" hasn’t downloaded automatically per the norm. Tunes wants to charge me the cost of this individual episode as if it doesn’t recognize the Season as Purchased (despite Store’s Season label states Purchased). Checked all the usual points to no avail. This is a recurring problem.
    Episode 1 & 2 from TV series "What on Earth” disappeared from Cloud.

    By 'checked all the usual points' you mean ... ? Does it show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for downloading ?
    For the other series, if they are still in your country's store then check to see if you've hidden those episodes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

  • Why one episode in a series

    Please please please can somebody explain to me the following,
    Just checked the new tv releases to find Air Crash Investigation special report SEASON 1 so thought would have a look opened it up to find one episode in the series and its not even episode 1 its episode 3.
    This is getting beyond a joke BT, please get the program scheduler on here to explain, I for one will not be renewing my service if this continues.

    Some channels, I know HBO do, add one episode a week to the series.
    Can't explain why it's episode 3 though

  • After using video credits to purchase episodes for a series, can you urchase the remaining episodes at a discounted price?

    I was recently given 3 video credits from Apple as a way to purchase musice videos and/or single TV  episodes of my choice. The limitations were-I could not use them to purchase full length movies, TV episodes that state "Season only," unable to use  them to buy gifts and unable to use them to buy certain HD TV episodes.
    I used 2 of the video credits to purchase 2 episodes of a series. When I tried to purchase the rest of the episodes on iTunes, I was promoted to view a cheaper offer since I already own one or more of the episodes. When I clicked "view offer" the price was for the full price of the whole series. This meant that the episodes I bought with the video credits had no value, I still will ended up paying for them. Isn't the point of getting video credits from Apple is so that I can save money?
    Please help.

    What you have to do is go to expresslane.apple.com, select iTunes as your product, as well as iTunes Store, and file a dispute. They should have it refunded within a day so you can repurchase

  • Recording ONLY new episodes of a series is not allowed!

    I recently upgraded to quantum. Now when I try to record a new season of a TV series I am not allowed to record just the first run (new episodes).....I am forced to,record the new episodes and ALL or the reruns. I just spent 40 minutes on the phone the the fios people and they say that is all they have. I said so you charge me more & give me fewer option. Furthermore the DVR recording options are redundant..."record episode" is fine, then there's "record series" and you get the new & old episodes and there's "record series with options" and you get the new and the old episodes...THERE ARE NO OPTIONS!!! This is stupid! The other nonsensical part of this is the shows I already had saved to record on my old equipment migrated to the new equipment and those still record just the new episodes.....so why can't I create a new recording and record only new episodes?????

    TNS_2 - I beg you to come to my house so I can show you the option is not there. I have not had the option to record first run only ever since I got the new quantum equipment. Furthermore, the Verizon tech support person and her supervisor TOLD me there was no option to record only the new episodes, hence NONSENSE! Please get Verizon to correct this!!! 
    I have Quantum, and I most definitely have the option to record only first-run episodes. However, that option is not available when I first schedule a series, I have to go in and modify the series.
    I think maybe you are failing to scroll down on your options. I have a number of series recordings scheduled, I can easily go in and change the recording option on any of them:
    Scheduled Recordings ==> series I want to modify/OK ==> scroll down to Modify Series/OK ==> scroll up to Episodes/OK ==> select First-Run Only/OK == Save
    Unfortunately the reps you talk to on the phone know very little, I have had FiOS now for 10 years, Quantum for one full year, and I have found I generally know far more about how FiOS works than pretty much any of the reps you might talk to.
    And last, none of us here can get Verizon to do anything, we are all just other customers trying to help.
    Good luck.

  • I bought several season of a tv series in the German Apple Store. Now they are gone due to technical problems (no backup). How do I get them back? ATTENTION: Meanwhile I moved to Switzerland and the Swiss Store doesn't offer tv series.

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    I'll hit a few of your questions - others will have to do others since I'm not up on some of the issues you ask about
    4) is there an easy way to review/delete items (in 6, i run a basic slideshow and delete on the fly -- is this still workable in 7?)?
    Yes
    5) Are there significant functionality benefits of 7 over 6 (e.g., does the noise function or shadow/highlight really offer significant benefits? The Events seems obvious, but I'm more interested in "under the hood" experience
    Yes
    Loseless editing - web galleries - events
    a) Is import any faster? As my library is growing in size, the import is getting overly slow
    It is fine for me (only you can compare to your current) - I have 20542 items using 26.3 GB in 271 events
    7) Is there a full-screen edit mode?
    yes
    8) Can you configure events so that it's not just by day?
    yes
    9) Is 6's "roll" structure as mirrored in the file system still available in the Events approach, or is the database structure that once you've converted a library, there's no going back?
    Events replace rolls (if your rolls are named - NOT the default rollxxx name - they will come across as is - to me events are rolls with much more capability and a new name - some people are VERY putoff by the change (but most love it) for reasons that I simply do not comprehend
    10) What is the effective (or advised) maximum library size? I've probably got over 60GB of images in my libraries now, with 20,000 images or so. If 7 can readily digest them (and preserve all my albums, etc.), then I'd love to combine them into one, unless that will kill performance, make the database unstable, drive backups into interminable waits, etc.
    The advertised max is 250,000 photos - I have about the same number of photos as you in about 1/3 the space - there are a few users here with libararies your size. With iPhoto Library Manager it is easy to maintain multiple libraries if you choose

  • Grouping TV Shows - ie TV Show Name Seasons Episodes

    I am seeing in Apple TV under TV Shows:-
    Stargate SG-1 - Season 1
    Stargate SG-1 - Season 2
    etc
    The West Wing - Season 1
    The West Wing - Season 2
    etc
    Is there anyway to get the TV Show to pull all the Seasons together and just show the TV Show, then the Seasons, then the episodes?
    The way I am seeing it now with several TBs of TV shows this is going to be a very long scrolling list.
    Any ideas? Can I group them somehow by changing an attribute in the meta data?
    Thanks
    Background just in case relevant
    Just got a new Apple TV 2 - it connecting nicely to all the Macs in the house.
    I am converting all my video and putting it into iTunes (10.0.1) using iFlicks (a tad flakey) and Elgato Turbo HD H.264 usb co-processor.
    All going well, quicker if iFlicks were more stable and stop stalling without any indication it had done so.

    For my test I had "Friends" and when I did the multiple item dialog and put a "1" in the season field it displays the season on the first level. So when I view by shows it has "Friends" with Season 1 in smaller font underneath. I just saw that and wanted to add it to my post
    This is the way most people view their TV shows list. However, the original poster asked how to merge the various seasons for a single show together under a single TV show name--just the opposite of what you are doing (i.e., dividing the show by season). In my explanation, you select all episodes in all seasons for a single TV show, open the multi-file Info window and remove all of the season numbers in a single action. Thereafter, all episodes for that TV Show will then display under a single TV show name and, if the episode #s are correct, will be listed in their episode by season order but not place a "header" between seasons as is done on the TV1 menu when season IDs are included.
    For me, it is six of one and a half dozen of the other. For instance, the original Doctor Who TV series has 26 seasons which would make 26 Doctor Who TV show entries in the TV show list making it easier to access individual episodes for each season. On the other hand, grouping all 26 seasons under a single TV show name makes it easier to select an individual TV show but makes it more difficult to access a single episode in the "season by episode" list which now contains over 500 individual episodes. Thus, each user must decide for himself/herself which work flow is more suited to their individual needs. My only reason for posting was to point out that both options are available for TV show lists and answers the OP's question.

  • I can't download last 6 episodes from tv series that I purchased. Any suggestions.

    I can't download last 6 episodes of purchased tv series. There is enough space but just says unable to download at this time.

    Unhiding it should get it to appear. Try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's taskbar and see if it shows when you re-open it (it may need 'refreshing') : from the home screen (i.e. not with the iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
