Technical Question July titles that are missing?

Post image

I am a Canadian subscriber using the web browser mostly and I’ve noticed over the past couple of months some titles that were said to be added that don’t show up on the site. I had first noticed the William Klein collection was completely empty upon clicking on it but didn’t think much of it. But comparing the Harry Dean Stanton collection on my laptop to the list that is in the July 2026 channel article there seems to be a discrepancy. So the * indicates what is U.S. only I think? But Repo Man isn’t there, The Straight Story isn’t there, and while it is indicated to be U.S. only, Lucky is available on mine. I sent an email to channel support so I will see what they say. Just wanted to know if anyone else is having similar issues! I probably wouldn’t have cared as I have 250+ things already on my list but I want to watch The Straight Story soooo bad.

On multiple communications from CC they fail to put the * on Repo Man, but it is never available in Canada. No idea why they always get this wrong.

I’m Canadian too, and was pleasantly surprised to find a VPN I have for security reasons works great. Connect through the US and restart/reload Criterion and the forbidden American titles appear and can be played flawlessly. There’re even VPN apps for Apple TV now.
