wilwheaton.typepad.com — "I absolutely hate that they're doing this. Star Trek 2.0 takesthe content of the show ... and reduces it to a tiny afterthought on the screen,while a whole bunch of mindless crap scrolls by all around it. ... Jesus. f**king. Christ. Is there anything G4 can't completely ruin?"

That's a nice summary of what G4 is all about, ruining whatever they touch. Now that they've moved away from tech and videos games they seem to be a cheap copy of SpikeTV (who by the way still shows Star Trek without the crap)...except they(G4) can't even do that right. G4 is dead last in ratings, the only thing keeping them on the air is Comcast and station bundling.

Wait 10 years and say that again about Battlestar Galactica or Firefly.

I never got into TechTV until about a year before it's merger with G4... mainly because we didn't have satellite/internet at the time (I live in a very remote area). So yeah, I didn't know about ZDTV.However, we don't have memories... we still have Revision 3, Diggnation, DL.TV, and TwiT.

They were other failed attempts at a third tier cable network by Comcast.

Watch it with tvtime on Linux and set overscan to 47.5%. All the crap goes away and it looks normal.

g4 is s**t. i used to constantly flip back and forth between g4 and tech TV...one had the games and the other had the tech, and now...there is barely anything on g4 that remotely resembles tech...someone needs to put that channel out of its misery. g4 ruined a perfectly good channel. I can't believe the crap they show...i mean there is nothing wrong with cops, and star trek or the man show...but for f**ks sake!!! ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A TECHNOLOGY CHANNEL. Its the same thing that happened to MTV!!!
