My response to a similar question of Satellite News:

"The big reason is to see how the new infrastructure works on feature-length streaming, and to test the free-to-PPV switch. This, along with bacon cam and the Vodka Smackdown are all building up to future feature-length live riffs."

It's also giving us data on what time of the day will attract the most viewers for a streaming event. On top of that: we're giving signed stuff away to those who watch.

Argh. I think I may miss the vodka smackdown.  If it was about an hour later I'd be all set.

Don't think when I paid I was given the option of a showtime. The 10 am PST time normally would be a terrible time- much, much later (7 pm CST or later) would normally be a lot better- just happen to be working from home today.

After the initial hiccup, everything went fine.

When I bought my ticket (a few days in advance), something on the screen said I would receive an email with a code. Never received an email with a code though. And didn't need a code to watch. Logging into Ustream was all I needed to do.

Dang it, I wish these weren't Pacific time. I'm on the east coast, so 2pm there is 5 here. I was still at work then. But 6 is 9 here, and that's too late. I'll have to go to bed before it's over. I'll still buy a ticket for 9, just out of curiosity though.

i was able to do 2 oclock today cause of a fluke that got me off of work, but in general it needs to be later for me so dont count one on the 2 oclock count.

everything worked out ok for me (other than not winning!). 

curiously enough i just got my email from ustream notifying me of my purchase and telling me to log in at show time.  might wanna work on the timing there ustream.

Suggestion for improvements to future shows- during the in between waiting times of the features (or before)- would like some of the same dumb trivia stuff that is shown in movies theaters before the live shows. The fake trivia always made me laugh. Unfortunately the theater where I watched the last live show (wasn't the last one, but the last one I saw) didn't have any of that.

I was under the impression this was going to be performed live (or at least recorded live). Guess I was wrong about that. I'm watching the 6pm (9pm here) viewing of Maniac, and it sounds exactly the same as the studio version, which I already own. Actually I own all four of these, so I don't really see any point in staying up till midnight to watch them. I'm a little bit disappointed about that.

Well, it's only $2.
