To-do list for Anime Network:

Here are some tasks you can do:
  • Expand: Elaborate on the history of the Network. (ex. When it was founded)
  • Update: Keep the shows updated and formatted in a reasonable manner.

just wondering if anyone knows if Dish Network will ever get anime network —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.6.188.49 (talkcontribs) 16:00, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC).

-- They offer some of it through VOD (DiSH On Demand [1]) . Look on the bright side, at least you get the 4 hour Syndicated Block of the FUNimation Channel on CoLour TV (It's in the public Access Channels). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.246.208.182 (talk • contribs) 23:15, 9 Sep 2006 (UTC).

Why was this redirected to A.D. Vision without any sort of discussion? --Mhking 02:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Verizon?

Verizons page states that Anime Network will be on board on Jan 1,2007 and its not there. WTF?

Removing Verizon FIOS, this appears to have been a rumor. Verizon FiOS includes the AnimeNetwork rival Funimation channel instead. MkDoyle 03:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Content

Three or so years ago when i first used AN there was much greater selection I could choose AN on the OD menu and see several options for different genres od anime action, comedy maybe a drama and a 4th option too along with bento beatbox. Most genres would have 3 or more series to choose from. Now that i have comcast again and have access to AN its just one page of anime with maybe 6 series that dont sound too interesting. When did the change happen? --Bushido Brown 08:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

When they started to offer Anime Network Subscription On Demand to providers like Cablevision, Cox Communications, and most recently Suddenlink Communications they felt since people who pay for Anime Network should have more content than the Free On Demand customers so naturally cable companies who offer TAN for free don't have a lot of content. This is also why all the new anime premires on Anime Subscription On Demand before going to Anime Free On Demand. Plus another reason Comcast's Anime Network selection is smaller than what the offer Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks is because Comcast customers get what is called Anime Network Events On Demand which offers volumes of certian anime series offered by Anime Network for a price of $3.99 per volume. So that is why your content is small compared to Subscription TAN offered by Cablevision, Suddenlink, etc. and Free TAN offered by Time Warner and others. Hope this helped.

[edit] UK Show List

I updated the shows being shown in the UK but as the American channels shows aren't list I was wondering if the the UK list should just be scrapped as it will probably just increase, for instance Voices of a Distant Star will start before the end of the month.

[edit] channels

may be a fluke for my area... but Anime Network on demand airs on something called CEOD, Cutting Edge On Demand, Channel along with G4, ADult Swim, and several other on demand networks on channel 0651 for time warner cable. showtime airs on channel 0001. must be a regional thing as to what channel it airs on. shadzar|Talk|contribs 11:06, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anime Network UK

Apart from the name, does Anime Network in the UK (a 2 hour block on Propeller TV) have anything to do with Anime Network in the USA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Astronaut (talkcontribs) 14:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is programmed by the same company that programs Anime Network, plus both share the same shows (currently). ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 10:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Seems to have stopped transmission on Sky Channel 195 sometime over the Christmas hols. I'll update the article if someone can say when it that happened? Astronaut (talk) 05:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
