I watch TechTV quite often. I like the channel. Some of the shows are meh, but I always watch Call for Help and The ScreenSavers. If they dont at least bring those 2 shows over with the same hosts, then I'll just call my cable provider (NOT Comcast thank god) and cancel the Tier that will contain the bastard child of G4 and TechTV and explicitly give them the reason why.

always did to me. got the cheapest lowest paid actors they can find. cuz the hosts for some of thoes shows were a bit


I dunno. all i can say is im glad it'll be gone. hopfully that channel will be replaced with something that i wont have to block the channel from the rotation anymore.

honestly tho. 90% of TV sucks anyway.

I can't get mad at Comcast, they deliver me blazing fast internet broadband for a fair, simple, low price.

Ditto. Plus Comcast owns stake in pretty much every Philadelphia sports team, and I can't get down on them in that regard. I love Comcast Sportsnet too much to turn on them now. Without Comcast I wouldn't be able to watch Flyers, Sixers, and Phillies games, and what kind of person would I be without that luxury?

I Comcast.

You honestly can not expect them to put more popular actors in there. They dont know sh*t about technology.

yea. i expected them to put tom cruise on there to host.

come on man. you know thats what i meant.

I mean they put ppl on there to host that dont know how to act on tv, not some flipin tards that act so fruity.

and BTW, the hosts dont know anything anyway. they simply read what they're supposed to read.

Agreed for both.

I used to love TechTV when I didn't get it at home and could only watch it at cooler houses. But then I got it at home and now never watch it. The only channel worse is G4.

Oh, and anime sucks.

Seriously, though, ScreenSavers and Call for Help were all right, but they weren't compelling TV, more like background TV a la what a lot of people do with ESPN.

I have to go further, Neo. 95% of TV sucks anyway.

No comment on that.


This news makes me greatly angry.

I watch TechTV all the time. The Screen Savers, Call for Help, Fresh gear, Tech Live, and Xplay. Nooo! Comcast is evil!
