Bill Maher stand up Live From Oklahoma tonight at 10:00 PM on HBO

[applegrove]

If anyone is looking for a break from all the trying news., that is. I think it is 10:00 PM. That is what it says on the hbo and hbo canada schedules. For some reason i had it marked down as 9:00 in my calendar. Sorry to those I misinformed.

1. But if you're looking for good cheer...

and a positive outlook - Bill Maher ain't it.

But, hey - laughing at reality is a huge part of comedy!

Keep it real, Bill!

[applegrove]

2. I should have said 'relief' from the news.

5. You know...

last week on his show he came out, announced he is officially a declared Democrat.

Democrats in Oklahoma? He may have all of them in the building tonight!

[applegrove]

6. He says he meets the greatest liberals in the red states all the time.

If only their votes counted in a presidential election.

[yallerdawg]

7. I'm just killing time until the show starts!

He's not always funny, but he passionately believes in what he is saying!

And in this day and age, that's worth the price of admission.

8. Something has to keep me from thinking about those Thai kids.

[yallerdawg]

10. I have the Rock's version of "Jumanji" on right after.

I'm gonna get distracted, too - or asleep.

Tomorrow's another day!

[applegrove]

12. Yes. The rescue will take 6 hours in, 6 hours out. Vibes to them all and the

rescuers in Thailand. I'm out of the news till tomorrow afternoon.

3. I imagine it depends on your time zone

I believe it is 9 pm Central and 10 pm East Coast.

[applegrove]

4. Yes. EST 10:00 PM

[RandomAccess]

9. Thanks so much!

[BigmanPigman]

11. I wish it could be posted but HBO always deletes them from DU.

20. This video is working now:

[BigmanPigman]

30. Yes, I saw that. Thanks.

I find that if I send the video to my gmail it doesn't get deleted by HBO as quickly...or that could be my imagination too.

[Rhiannon12866]

31. LOL! I don't know how these things work, either.

What I do is look to see if the videos from a specific YouTube source stick around - or if only really recent ones are available.

[Kajun Gal]

13. When do we get it on HBONow?

[applegrove]

14. Eastern standard time it is 10:00 PM.

[UTUSN]

22. Thanks Rhiannon.

[Rhiannon12866]

23. I'm not sure if this one will last since it's not official HBO

Which is where I get Real Time, but I played it all the way through and it worked for me.

[applegrove]

24. I am in canada and more often than not can't play videos. So I don't even bother

looking for them since I often can't post them. Thanks for backing up my thread.

[Rhiannon12866]

25. That is very strange, I've often wondered why

We can see videos from Europe, so why can't our closest neighbor see US videos? And I was hesitant to post this, I always choose the "official" version since it'll last, but this was uploaded last night and it worked for me tonight. And I wanted to share it with those who missed it.

[applegrove]

26. Often time networks will say 'you are not eligible to view the video from

such and such a network'. It is hit and miss. I guess some networks sell their tv shows to a Canadian network to show it to us so maybe they are contractually obligated to not show the video to us in canada themselves. I have no problem getting the news or youtube cat videos. Just not network tv shows. Comedy Central does it. I assume hbo does it since we have hbo canada. Though I do get to play hbo videos I have no idea where you get them and sometimes the non network earliest versions out there don't render. So I don't bother with hbo. European countries may not buy US tv network shows. At least not as often as Canadian networks do. Like the Comedy Channel in canada plays the Daily Show so I can't play those videos but we get the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on cable here, directly from the US and not on a Canadian network, so I can play their videos that originate from the US. Does that make sense?

[Rhiannon12866]

28. No, it doesn't make sense at all.

It's not like YouTube is charging for non HBO subscribers to watch the Real Time videos, for example. I do know that CTV especially will air US network shows, but HBO is a subscription service. And YouTube is international. It especially makes no sense that you can't see The Daily Show since it airs in Canada as well as here. And if you're near enough to the border, you can view channels from the US and Canada. Years ago, I was responsible for the TV listings for several newspapers in Washington State and they included both American and Canadian channels.

[applegrove]

29. Yes some US channels we get are direct feeds. On some, a Canadian network

has bought a US network show, and if you happen to be watching it on an American cable channel they'll be a little blip at the start of the show where the version on the Canadian network with Canadian advertisements kicks in and takes over for the length of the show. The internet and videos only complicate it all.

[Rhiannon12866]

32. I wondered how that worked

I did remember that CTV showed more programming from American networks, though not always at the same time. And some areas, like Vancouver, would get channels from both sides of the border, including all the American networks and there was even one in French. However, this was back in the '80s, but if anything we've become so much more "global" since then - especially since the internets... and we have DUers from all over the globe, too.

[applegrove]

33. Yes. And the reason why some videos are not streamed in canada is probably advertising dollars.

It is complicated for sure. We are international despite what Trump wants.

[fierywoman]

27. I watched it, belly-laughed a lot of times, and hoped spanky watched it too.

[KT2000]

34. Loved it!

hope everyone can catch it.
