Watch it Before it Airs

DirecTV is once again ahead of the times. Starting in March, if you have their new DVR box, you can pay $3 to watch certain FX shows (The Shield, Rescue Me, 30 Days) two days before they air.
You can also watch 24 and Prison Break for 99 cents after they air.
But that part doesn't seem to make sense. You have to have DVR to get the service, so then why would you pay 99 cents to watch a program you could have recorded. I guess it works for the rare instance when you forget to record something you really wanted to watch.
