TechTV will always have a welcome place to TV viewers. The market for this type of programing never went away, but the content was removed nonetheless. I can do without TechTV as it was before, but it would be awesome to have it back in a formal manner.
@jonnyeh: Did you even read the post?Leo's entry was definitely before Pirillo's, and there's interest from other former TechTV hosts.Going from that, I don't see how it's because Pirillo feels left out. Hell, I don't see that in the post at all.
I live in Canada and only had over-the-air television (two English local channels) from the age of five until August of last year. Before then, I had noticed that one of the televisions at my then girlfriend's house had digital cable, and the channel "G4TechTV," and I used to watch it whenever I was at her house and she wasn't around.When I got cable it was one of the channels I subscribed to, and it had some good programming, but really all I watched was Call For Help and sometimes X-Play.I now can't afford cable until I find employment again, so I use the Internet to my advantage. I've seen full episodes of TSS on Youtube and must say I'd be happy if something very similar aired on the Internet, although it doesn't seem like it'd have the same appeal without the studio with audience, guests, call-ins, and the same hosts.
I miss Tech TV, Please for the love of GOD bring it back to cable, Didn't mind G4TechTV, It was half decent, it only needed a little more help. TechTV was the only channel that I felt was for me. If G4 is listening, please add Tech Tv Back into your name, just like Canada!!! LONG LIVE TECH TV!!! The only channel I ever left on for 24 hours straight!!!!God I miss TechTV
Internet tonight needs to be brought back. That was back in the days of ZDTV and had Scott Herriott & Michaela Pereira who were very funny and had unique and interesting sites for every episode. That, in addition to scott's neverending hunt for sasquatch
Well let me say this,If Diggnation was responsible for the removal of one of the most popular Dugg, this will create a false sense of security within our digg nation. We all miss TechTV and we are dedicated to see it rise from the ashes, but if Kevin or any member of digg removed it, I would have to say "FUC# THAT"! The only reason digg is popular is because digg has claimed won the hearts of TechTV fans. If they want to turn there back on there birth mother (TECHTV FANS) shame on them!!! And whats up wirth the censorship digg?I see a possible G4 move on digg. What I mean by this id there turning there backs on one of the most popular dugg story this year!!! I guess Kevin and the gang lost there love for a TECHTV like media on TV.Guys am I wrong on this?IS this censorship?Is TechTV or what it meant to have a 24hr Tech Channel bad for the members of diggnation?I am pissed.....................We are watching you!! Speak out and tell us on diggnation why this story is a no go!!!What is home rowed?
How many people have to report it to have it taken off? Does it have to be more than the amount of diggs? I have a hard time believing over 7500 people reported this story. I also never saw a warning that the story was reported like there normally is, and I was watching this story regularly.
i quote " In three days it had over 7,000 diggs and counting. It was a incredibly popular story. The third most dugg of the year. Then it dissapeared from all these listings and you can't find it when it is searched for. Obviously this is a huge conspiracy and Kevin Rose doesn't want anyone to bring back Tech tv because hes the only one that knows that Leo Laporte is an alien trying to gain power to take over the world. Either that or it is a glitch"
I loved Tech TV soooooo much! I use to only watch that channel back in the day. I actually didn't mind G4 in the beginning, I use to like Portal and some other shows they had. But then they moved to LA and Unscrewed was cancelled, and then they changed The Screen Savers to Attack of the Show, but when Sarah Lane left, that was the final straw, so I just gave up.I still tune in for X-Play every now and again, but that's it. I would love a Tech TV reunion, I can say there would be nothing more that I'd want on tv then for Tech TV to return in all it's glory!
I think its a great idea to have some kind of reunion either it be web related or on television. I know all of us miss being able to get usefull information about technology from the former Techtv/ZDTV.
even kevin p. was pretty decent back in the ttv era... i dont like the fact tho that he let the channel goto crap, the stupid comic reviews, i am really mad that there isnt even a tech related show on that channel anymore.... he is the only original ttv host left..... i guess he'll have to keep kissing g4's ass in order to stay onboard and not be replaced by another person that dosent know how to hack, or even fix a computer,.... even tho munn is hot, she isnt qualified for the old show, as the only electronic she probabaly knows how to operate is a vibrator

Yoshi always seemed to be a pompous ass to me. One hell of a great modder, but everything he did had a condescending tone to it.

It's sad that the best show on G4 is an old sci-fi show from the late 80's early 90's (TNG, which I still love btw :)
