That's weird - the site clearly states 12 months. They're not the only ones - I was watching Strikeback S05 on Sky's On Demand earlier, it went S05E01, S05E02 S05E03 and then.... S04E04. Must be the time of year or the weather.

BT is preparing to offer Netflix in ultra high definition and Sky Sports channels in high definition as it prepares to launch its latest Youview set top box.
The broadcaster will launch BT Sport Ultra HD on 2 August which will feature selected Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and Aviva Premiership rugby games.
It will be accessed via a dedicated Ultra HD Youview set top box, manufactured by Humax, which is currently being trialled in certain BT homes.
Pricing of the 1TB box which can record 250 hours of HD programming, along with subscription costs for the channel, will be unveiled within the next few weeks.
The Ultra HD box will also support Netflix’s Ultra HD streaming service, which is currently only available via a range of connected TVs. The £8.99 per month VoD service currently requires an internet connection of 25 megabits per second.
BT will further bolster its high definition offering with the launch of Sky Sports 1 and 2 HD.
It currently offers its subscribers the sports channels in standard definition but is keen to expand the offering to enable its Ultra HD subscribers to view as much high definition programming as possible.
Red button coverage
As a key part of its European football coverage BT Sport is to offer access to eight live Champions League games and 24 Europa League games simultaneously via its connected red button.
Along with full match coverage the red button service will enable subscribers to view an array of statistics and scores from other games.
They will also be able to use a companion app on a tablet or mobile device to view video highlights, replays and access different camera angles or watch a different game at the same time.
