Anyone know if this iN DEMAND stuff is available on DirecTV. I'm going to be really pissed if it's not because I'm buying satellite radio to get his radio show, but if I have satellite for my tv, I can't get him?

P.S. - I can't listen to the show, I'm just respond to a skim of marksfriggin.com.

Didn't Howard say that DirecTv doesn't have the ability to have stuff like that, but DirecTV has Showtime OnDemand and other crap like that with the DVR.

No it's not and it never will be. Just like NFL Sunday Ticket will never be on cable.

You gotta be fucking kidding me!? I have DirecTV and I'm willing to pay the price but what the fuck...

Did anybody call in today to see if they are working on getting it available to DirecTV users?

It's called exclusive rights. Just like Howard will not be broadcasting on both Sirius and terrestirial radio at the same time neither will in deman be on satellite or nfl sunday ticket on cable.

there are numerous radio talk shows that play on sirius, XM and regular radio. howard could be on in-demand and satellite TV if he wanted.

NFL football is always changing its exclsuive rights agreements with the broadcasting companies as to who gets the games..they also have a contract with DirecTV that has to expire sometime and it would be possible that Time Warner could come along and outbid them...im not saying you're wrong, im just sayin you never know
