Satellite TV giant DirecTV will allow customers access to the Philip Seymour Hoffman film Pirate Radio more than 30 days before the film’s DVD release by Universal.
Pirate Radio was released in 1080p high definition at $5.99 or standard definition for $4.99 via its video-on-demand service beginning yesterday.
“DirecTV Cinema strives to deliver the highest-quality movie experience by offering unique content that is above-and-beyond what consumers find on the usual pay-per-view platform,” said Sarah Lyons, vice president of Marketing for DirecTV. “DirecTV is thrilled to continue raising the bar with Pirate Radio, by offering it to our customers more than a month before the film’s DVD release. We will continue to deliver an unmatched in-home movie experience that can only be found on DirecTV.”
