    ## Longer Version

    Hi there, current Showtime subscriber through AppleTV+. I can play anything from showtime except the latest 'The Circus' episode. Any idea what's going on there? It doesn't work on iOS, AppleTV or FireTV device (through AppleTV+ app).

    Here's what it looks like on iOS: http://bit.ly/2HvNJPZ

    I contacted Showtime support initially, then they said, Apple. So I contacted AppleSupport on Twitter since I couldn't find the AppleTV+ Channels support page via Apple's support site.

    My first conversation with Apple Support: http://bit.ly/2uJX1p3

    Now they sent me to you to this specfic page, and the first time I submitted I got this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s0tx150feo8v0fw/FirstAppleSupportPageFail.png?dl=0

    I've reset, cleared cache, and deleted, and re-installed the apps on macOS, iOS, and FireTV (AppleTV+ app), and still don't have that recent episode of The Circus. Looking at the latest episode Feb 16th on Showtime's page doesn't give me a lot of confidence that Showtime's metadata doesn't have SOMETHING to do with it - https://www.sho.com/the-circus-inside-the-greatest-political-show-on-earth/season/5 (The last two images are the same, they already have next week's episode posted, which seems odd.)

    You're my last hope...
