| WTF?!?!?!?! I'm a long time HTV subscriber & heard Howard say there's a special preview coming up for subscribers & non subscribers, so I went to sign up for it & the message read 'Nice Try, go do some homework before you wind up like hpe'. What the fuck is this? Is it some sort of fucking joke? I never thought I'd say this but my HTV days are getting very limited. I might as well goto DirecTV so I can get NFL Sunday ticket again. A paying subscriber can't see a free preview is total fucking bullshit. If only Howard knew why subs for HTV are so low... |

Hey all - this is Vinnie from Howard.TV. Sorry you're having trouble registering for the preview. Try these steps below - if you still have problems, let us know. The age verification on this is very strict so you need to be sure you are sending accurate info. Howard TV is so hot we can't let it get into the wrong hands.
If you follow these steps, it should help:
- Enter your name as it appears on your driver's license or credit card. Do not use nicknames or initials.
- Use your current home street address only - DO NOT INCLUDE CITY, STATE. If you've recently moved, try using your previous address.
- Did you correctly add the first and last digits of your social security number? 1XX-XX-XXX9 - 1 + 9 = 10
- DO NOT ENTER your full social security number
- Please fill out each field completely
- Unfortunately, the Online Preview is open to U.S. residents only at this time
If you are still having trouble, let us know . Someone will get back to you before the preview begins April 25th. |

it might be easier for subscribers if they put the preview up like any regular show so you can watch it with a click of the remote
let the people who aren't paying yet jump through hoops |

| Is there really a point for us current subscribers to watch this? Isn't it another bits and pieces show? |

I tend to think that the free preview website is working just fine! Its giving people the perfect picture of what HowardTV is:
1. Difficult Navigation
2. Lack of Content
3. Much disappointment!
You can't fault them for representing the product correctly :-) |

no offense, but do you suppose it shouldnt be this complicated, and that maybe these bugs should have been worked out ahead of time? |

No luck here... entered all information accurately but still am asked to go do some homework. I would definitely be a subscriber to Howard tv but my cable company does not provide Indemand, Cox sucks Cock!
Oh and I'm willing to do said homework if someone can tell me what that would be... :(
I've contacted twice and just get the same response each time...

- Did you correctly add the first and last digits of your social security number? 1XX-XX-XXX9 - 1 + 9 = 10
- DO NOT ENTER your full social security number
- Please fill out each field completely

| Glad to see i'm not the only one having problems. I tried my current address, my old address (the one i used when subscribing to sirius), with abbreviations, w/o abbreviations....all for nothing. |

If you e-mail us your first and last name plus the email address you used when trying to register, we'll look into it and try to see what the problem is. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

Same problems here. I sent an email and was told to try again, still didn't work. Funny part was the email that was sent from HTV had an incorrect link to the free preview that didn't work. :rolleyes:
Sad thing is that anyone can access free hardcore porn anytime they want on the internet, but HTV makes you jump through all these ridiculous hoops for soft core shit at best. :bs: |

| If you see the Hi Pitch message saying you are not old enough, try going back to howardstern.com/free and logging in anyway. That message may be appearing by mistake. You may have passed the verification and can start watching. |

I know the Howard TV Mobile Bus was to supposed to be in Union Square, but I arrived like around 12:30pm, but it was not there. What happen to that ?
I was wondering if anyone know where it s going to be tomorrow during the day ? |

| Don't understand this, i've gone over the info a few times now, and sent an email asking why, keep getting friggin HPE each time, great way to get people to subscribe |

| What a debacle. I told all of my friends for the past week to sign up for this and so far 2 out of 10 have made it through the registration process. Sadly this type of service only confirms what Ive heard about HTV all along. I think if Howard were more personally involved with the day to day operations of HTV he would've never let it degrade to this level. He's a busy man, but its just disappointing for him to put his name on this when he always painstakingly tries to stamp it on quality products. |

| it finally worked, but it's pretty disappointing. there' maybe 10 minutes of content...talk about overhyped!!! |

What a fucking joke.
How complicated does it really need to be?
Time is money, which makes this preview not free. |
|
|
| howard_dot_tv |
Sorry to all who were having trouble getting in. Please try today and you should have no problems at all...
We've extended the Howard TV Free Preview 2 more days through May 1st by popular demand and now it's easier to access so that everyone has a chance to see what they missed.
Visit howardstern.com/free to start watching now.
For these last 2 days, we've selected the best and funniest moments from Howard TV but to see all the totally uncensored action check-out Howard TV On Demand on digital cable. |

| Love the free preview but didn't see any new content on May 1st. Also, find a way to get it on satelite. I don't care if the on demand feature is their or not. I would order it in a pre-programmed channel if possible, like the Playboy Channel or any other pay channel. Thanks |

Why do you say it was extended due to popular demand & the below article & your site says 'registration problems blocked many users from accessing the site'...'We appreciate your patience and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. We will be extending the preview until May 1 so you don’t miss any of the fun'?
Is bullshitting really a good way to lure more people to HTV?

| My experience with the free preview sucked......the only good thing was that I regestered without any problems. Other than that each and every time I tried to watch a clip it would start and then freeze up and not show any video and continue to play the audio track. Based on the negative comments from this thread I'm not sure how hard I want to press my provider Dish Network (Echostar) to sign HTV...... |
