Lost purchased movies and shows after a move

We recently moved and our service at the old house was canceled so the new owner could establish service.  The account for the new house was not set up yet to move services over, along with the complication that the old plan we had is no longer available.  Once the cancellation of the old account took affect all of our purchased movies and shows, along with DVR recordings were dropped from stream access.  Over the weekend we set up service for the new house in advance of moving in, thinking everything would migrate to the new account with service reestablished.  This turned out not to be the case.

After searching, it seems this may be a common issue. Is there a solution to this issue out there, or did we just loose everything we acquired over the past 5-6 years? I still have my old equipment if there is anything that can be done with that.  Any help with this issue would be appreciated to smooth out this part of moving.

Thanks for the update user_3mr539. I'm glad to hear you got everything sorted out, and you're all set. I'm sure this was concerning to see at first, however, I'm happy you were able to narrow it down. When possible, please let us know how you got this fixed so others who may have the same issue down the road can follow the steps you took.
