DirecTV doesn't even have it on their website. I agree that they don't get it, regardless of talent and residual fees isn't the point of advertising to get exposure?

One reason that these aren't on the intertubes may (I don't know for certain) be that they didn't wish to clear SAG internet usage for so much heavy-hitting talent (the more actors in your spot, the more expensive it is to air it, obviously). It just gets to be prohibitively expensive and you have to clear for broadcast tv, and anyway, if the spot is good enough, some geek figures out how to get it digitized and onto YouTube. So why should DirecTV fork over a bunch of cash to the actors just so they can be the ones to upload? Cream floats.
