- falcon707, on 10/12/2007, -6/+45I wonder how many original TechTV fans even wach G4. I learned most of what I know about technology from watching TechTV (heh, and surfing Digg). It's a shame G4 came in and drove TechTV into the ground.
- DesolataX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+35I am very Glad "TechTV" is back. I enjoyed every show on the good ol' TechTV.
Welcome Back! - Walker2323, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34"Almost all i know about computers and the internet I learned from Leo , Patrick and Kevin."
Uh oh ;) - DesolataX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26I hope they decide to do a live stream of the channel, even if I have to pay, because I have a bad feeling my Cable provider won't give me any love.
- darkzealot89, on 10/12/2007, -16/+40ya, the other didnt make it, digg article, digg down your comment and let the mods begin
- Walker2323, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21I still really miss the Screensavers. It's been a while, but the show still sticks in my brain. I know it's been said many, many times before, but I haven't watched G4TV since about 1 month after it took over completely. Why do they have to be the only show in town?
I, for one, would welcome my new (old) nerd overlords. - battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24Don't feel too bad for the digg down (some say mod down, but there is no moderator here on digg), the original will eventually be folded into this one and the first poster will recieve the proper credit. Not many here on digg have figured that out yet.

- bloqmon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19i really hope this works out, i miss the old techtv crew. they really got me into technology.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17"Have you seen G4 lately? It's all star trek, the fast lane and man show with a tad of AOTS."
Yeah G4 has essentially become a Spike TV clone, but at least Spike has some entertaining syndicated programing. Sad really G4 should just quit while they are barley bearable instead of not bearable at all. If I was the CEO of comcast id commit suicide as soon as possible. - zeldafan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Have you seen G4 lately? It's all star trek, the fast lane and man show with a tad of AOTS.
G4 hasn't had anything gaming or really computer centered in... actually, ever. - battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Trademark, but essentially yes, the law.
- xpaladin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I'm sure console gamers are playing games and not watching G4TV. Thus the reason they're changing their programming tactics almost entirely. Really, I think X-Play on TechTV was all the gamers ever wanted.
- V1ncent, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17ZDTV, TechTV isn't coming back. It evolved into much more tech programming than the channel ever did as the great people that worked there spread out all over the globe to give us more tech programming than they ever did before. It was sad to lose such a thing but the end result became much more tech programming / sites / resources / communities than ever. DL.TV, Twit, Digg, etc.
That is ZDTVs finest legacy. It didn't die, it just evolved all over the place. There's no back, just full speed ahead! - moose_diggs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Almost all i know about computers and the internet I learned from Leo , Patrick and Kevin.
A new centralized site with content from them would be HUGE for people like myself back years ago. - HelplessSEAL, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16I want the old screensavers back!!! Sledgehammer that mac G5!!!!! I'll be content with TWiT, Diggnation, and DLtv for now
- cyberghost232, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11What about Yoshi? Everyone knows we need Yoshi. Who knows. Maybe the Dark Tipper will actually start Dark Tipping again. I think everyone will agree we need another Ep. of The Broken. Along with the obvious I like The Tech Of ____ to.
- e03179, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12See what Chris Pirillo has to say about UndoTV: http://chris.pirillo.com/2006/08/14/techtv-undotv/
- asaone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Death to G4, TechTV lives
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Now that is a meow mix I'd like to swallow! She still has an awesome blog ya know!
- paulius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10It's called a parking page.
You put a page like this with ads in an attempt to make money while your website isn't ready yet. This exactly matches their scenario.
But anyways, WHOIS confirms that it's owned by lockergnome, which is owned by Chris Pirillo:

Gosh, I'm so waiting to see what will happen with this new UndoTV! I hope we can resurrect TechTV! - tritium, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Your cable TV provider wouldn't be COMCAST, would it? lol...
(Comcast was responsible for the original TechTV buyout and annhilation. - jimmy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I hope they don't try and make it exactly like TechTV. Just get the right content on there and start something new. I'll be willing to pay for this if its good and well done.
- digitaldivider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I've never seen tech tv. No, I got G4. that was all I was offered. G4 is a steaming pile of ***** in my opinion. They over generalize gamers. "It's violent and bloody and so fast paced, even those of you with ADD with have some fun with this title!" ***** that. they need gamers with varying tastes to review games and not some bitch like morgan webb. Adam sessler I have no problem with since he recently schooled jack thompson, but I can't stand morgan webb. And the whole server in the ass thing? sick, but priceless. dugg just because we need real tech people again, not just posers.
- joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10They should ring up Paul Allen and ask him for some cash. For him to fund a few Internet shows for a year, to get them started, would be like one spaceship launch or something.
He would be up for it.
You hear me Leo? Do that.
Digg me up so Leo can hear me. - bluephoenix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I agree, this is probably one of the few examples of an IPTV show that I'd be willing to pay for. The idea that I could save the shows on my hard drive for archiving is excellent as well, they'd be a great resource, similar to DLTV today.
- HMTKSteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Wasn't there an article on a Digg a whiiiiile back dealing with some photo Cat had taken and how the thumbnail still shopped the uncropped (topless) original even though the image had been cropped down to a head shot?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I'll drink to that..........could they potentially use Youtube as a gateway for content delivery?? the wrestling company TNA does that with youtube... and Pirillo regularly contributes to the growing amount of TechTv content on there
- Theod48, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8i miss the screen savers!
- dragazis, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I seriously hope this works out. G4 is total *****. Down with G4! o/o
- Lynxpro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6
My thoughts exactly. Bring on the Mayor of Cuba...The One, The Only...Television's Martin Sargent! - scotchsean, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I hope this works out, the world needs IT.
- fitzfan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7From what i get it is a youtube for tech tv alum, so Leo can post all the twit shows, all the rev3 shows can go there, dl.tv, and whatever else the people are up to. Everyone will still be independent kind of, just post all their new episodes on the undoTV site.
- michaelyurechko, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6This is what I and so many other old TechTV fans have been waiting for. Glad to see they're coming back together.
- rrobster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Build it and we will come..............
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6They are most likely going to be using DLTV as home base for studios (except for Leo and CP - they will prob stay remote).
Actually, even more likely is that if enough revenue comes to the old guard, PA will prob sell off G4TV studios and then "UndoTV" would just move back in utilizing DLTVs newer technologies to stream it live as well as pump it to sat.
You can already see that with Torrent from ROgers (Rogers also has CFH) - starmanjones, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10>ya, the other didnt make it, digg article, digg down your
>comment and let the mods begin
i swear... posting... "this is a dupe" is more annoying than dupes. i've never been
bothered by a dupe... i have been glad someone reposted something that i missed and would have wanted to see. *shrug* - mayostard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Kate Botello?
- JustEvk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Hey, nerd girl describes my dream woman.
- sputza, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6This is awesome! I miss the awesome guys of TechTV
- HelplessSEAL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7the news is accurate....well sorta, the guys at TWiT have been contemplating such an idea for several weeks, bringing up chris pirillo's name as the mastermind of it all
- ReaperUnreal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"I hit you with a keyboard in the face!"
- shadekeiko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5two words:
THANK GOD!
I've been waiting so long for this. TechTV was so great, and with LaPorte and Pirillo behind it, you know it's going to be good. So psyched! - thashiz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Crap? Not the kind of excitement I was expecting..
- michaelyurechko, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I would not be where I am today, if it wasn't for the TechTV crew.
- RedGiant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Because the idea was just brought up and the domains were registered. Websites aren't made in a day.
- cwncool, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I miss Invent This .....
- TheDarkTipper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4What I have been waiting for, for all of my life.
Or at least what seems like it. -
