- Axios, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I hate that. Look... if the blog posting is what the digg is about, fine, link to it. If the blog post is just going to send us somewhere else, just post that link.

- TheRunes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I still wont/can't watch. I got disgusted with G4TechTV and blocked the channel on my cable box. I used a random code i generated and then forgot the code so I could never lower my intelligence with that garbage channel again. Now its G4 and its much worse that right after the merger. I only wish CFH was on another channel so I could watch and enjoy the show. G4 thinks this move will improve its ratings, but I know lots of people that think like me.
- jakebechtold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Agreed.
- dinki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I love your blog. I will definitely visit it daily now that I know about it. Mission accomplished.
- Venator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Posting a link to ones own blog has got to be a way to only beef up ones own daily views.
Interesting and cool story, but for future don't link to your own blog but try using an official source. - LazyBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1damn i digged this last night and was the first one... and this blogger thats jusr copy and pastes the forum... get 900 digg wft!!!! i give up.
- xtremesniper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well this is nothing big to me since in Canada we've had Call For Help and Gadgets and Gizmos the whole time. G4TechTV never became G4 in Canada, we kept TechTV alive. =) But good to see its coming back to the States.
- mynameisnick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The execs at G4 *finally* pulled their heads out of, well... you know where. And it's about time!
- ajb2015, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Rehire the old crew and rename the network TechTV. Then, and only then, will you be forgiven G4.
- wrangler311, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If they are going to put forth the effort to bring these shows back, just bring back TechTV. Have 2 channels like before. I never had a problem switching between the 2 channels way back when.
- Gepetto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well, I guess I'm happy, but what I really want to see is TSS get back to TTV(G4) with the original cast. Oh well, one step at a time. Now why would they bring back Robot Wars? It was Ok, but nothing spectacular.
- jeffsiler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Since Leo left Tech TV I can celled my digital cable service. Techtv was the only digital channel I watched. Since then I have gotten into podcasting (twit, diggnation etc). I'm not sure if this is enough to bring me back to digital cable (maybe if patrick, leo, and kevin were all on the air).
I think its very exciting for those who currently have digital cable.
Anyone like me cancel after the techtv/g4 merge, who are considering coming back? - analogue40, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2http://forums.g4tv.com/messageview.cfm?catid=64&threadid=466445&forumid=1
- SupaDawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1cool. And since Rogers Media produces CFH now hopefully it'll stay up north. Dont want G4 raping and destroying this show with their crappy sets and useless guests.
- hitbyatrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Man, don't link to your own damn blog. Seriously, that's lame, dude.
- icu_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Long live THE FIGHTERS!!!!
The comments after the post were spot on - I left angry - I tried hanging on for as long as I could, but it just kept losing more and more of that nerdy goodness. TTV was the reason I splurged for digital cable. Once Kevin left I figured all hope was lost. - archer75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So they are bringing back the worst of the old tech tv? I want Techlive, Screensavers and Fresh Gear.
- Rujtu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1G4 can get a knife and fork and gently eat my ass. They lied to every techtv fan out there, and now they're trying to woo us back ? F*** that! And look at what they give us. One good show (CFH), one show I may have caught twice (NN) and 2 shows we don't need. Robot Wars isn't going to be entertaining until they start arming those things with lasers and chainguns. No one wants to see a Roomba with a knife attacking a dehumidifier with a hammer. And if you do, move to england. You want to see FFM? Get the military channel. They've got guns from ALL TIME ERAS. Huzzah~!
No thanks G4. I'm happy watching Diggnation, Systm, and listening to TWiT. - rayjay2380, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0im alkl for this i like both G4 and twit and the rev3 stuff but the tech fan's treat people like me as traitors. i hope the fact that C4H is coming to G4 might change the while situation.
- dynomike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't want to watch anything that has the G4 stamp on it. I just wish someone would come out with a true tech based channel like the old ttv. There is nothing that I really prefer to watch on tv the way it is. Back in the day I could watch ttv for hours on end. G4 has killed all that was tv for me. I will in no way support them by watching their new shows.
oggusfoo: I get what you're saying. I'd rather have the sports car but the minivan is all that's in sight. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Fictional story explains this crap:
I went to a car dealer and test drove this really cool sports car. I got to take it home for a week and realized this was perfect for me. I couldn't think of anything I would change, even if I could. I took it back to the dealer to sign on the dotted line, I had already made it my own. They took it around back to detail it and brought me back a minivan. Angrily, I told them this was nothing like I wanted and the dealer pointed out that this one had a sunroof.
No thanks G4, you can't piss on me and call it a morning dew. Keep your fanboys and perverts, you're dead to me. - SirChaos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'll wait for an official press release.
- JohnathanG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I would assume there will be no changes to the current CFH2 format, as it's now produced in Canada by Rogers Media, owners of G4TechTvCanada. Therefore, while the US Comcast-owned G4 can buy the program and show it, I doubt they will have much control over the actual show itself. Which is good, because if they could control it, they'd screw it up, like they have everything else.
FWIW, I think Fastlane is a cool show, shouldn't have been canceled by FOX. BUT - it airs on two networks now, neither of which seems to be a great fit. CourtTV and G4. G4 is probably a better fit than CourtTV. But, the best place would have been a channel like USA or SpikeTV, that already has a bunch of cop/action type shows. Still, I'm happy Fastlane has found a retirement home (or two of them, so it would seem). - spadin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oggmusfu: your story makes no sense :) very creative though.
- digit9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I was really hoping that CFH would go some where other than G4. I just worry that G4 will "MTVize" CFH and ruin it. Guess well just have to wait and see.
- SilentSpyder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Except for X-Play I have stopped watching G4 since the merger. Even though I hate to give them ratings, I will watch CFH. I hope they don't mess it up the way they degraded TSS. Hopefully the ratings will kick the crap out of AOTS, and they'll know what sells.
- Numbski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm with you guys. Robot Wars most certainly didn't need to come back. The host was the guy that played Crichton in "Red Drawf"(caught it once or twice on PBS back in high school...) but the show just sucks.
IPTV, I'm all over that with you guys. Wanting to start a broadband co-op here in St. Louis to make that happen. - ArcaneDevice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nerd Nation - why show that? Nerds don't watch G4 since they killed the tech and replaced it with Pimp My Station stuff.
- sunimit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Bring back that sexy Sumi Das on Fresh Gear.
- itsjake88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I aint watching any of it. I jsut dont wanna support that damn station.
- SpydrMrphy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is realy cool if its actualy going to happen, but dose any one have an offical press releace, or maybe the new airing list? I've been hearing roomers that CFH would be going back to G4/Tech TV, but the only thing I'm going to take as offical word right now is if Leo Laporte, or TTV/G4 says it's offical.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0DAMN IT, I removed G4 months back off my satellite bill, so now I can't watch C4H :(
- LazyBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0comcast does own like 25% of g4techtv Canada just wanted to make that aware.
- kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0FINALLY!!
i finally think G4 has realized thats the shows that made techTV so popular! please Digg this guys! - Gorbash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Won't watch it. I just get the torrent feed off the site.
- wvstephens, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well there goes the CFH tracker. I would just rather download all the CFH shows on-line than watch G4 again. First off it will never be the old TechTV. Kevin, Patrick, Martin etc... Will never be back, not after all the G4/com-cast bashing that went on.
- genforklift3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Robot Wars?! That show sucked I thought that the "hey lets make Robots fight" shows where over. There use to be like 10 of them, and they got canceled, for a good reason. But I am glad they got Call 4 Help back on. Any news on who is hosting?
- allenh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Cream Always Rises To The Top/Even When SH****G4 Trys To Kill It!Have Boycotted The Piece Of S*** G4 Since They Destroyed Tech TV.
- PsycoMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yay! i was happy when i heard this....but then i saw they were Gonna be on G4...:0( why do i feel that nothing good will come from this.
- bnitro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Im glad CFH is back, nerd nation is pretty good they should bring back that conspiracy show.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Holy crap, that guy posts like every 5 minutes."
And I take only 15 minutes out of the day (+ or - 5 minutes) to take a look at digg.com. I love this site. Lots of news I wouldn't otherwise become aware of. - VinCenT13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Too bad there bringing back Robot Wars, that show really really sucked. Call for help rocks though, I'm super happy there bringing it back. Now fore TSS and FG.
- Mark_DeRidder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0honestly, unless G4 brought back the screensavers with the original hosts (Patrick and Leo) I will never watch G4 or order service that offered G4. I dropped my Comcast service because they really screwed up a great channel when they bought TechTV. I now have WOW and only the basic service... I'm not gonna pay more to watch a crappy channel like G4.
Having CFH back is a nice touch, but I would only watch that show because Leo is the host... I'm just gonna stick with my TWIT casts. So nice to have that at least. - knut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice way to plug your own blog DCJoeDog. (enter sarcastic golf clap here)
- icecold153, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Kevin P. can kiss my @$$. He and the rest of the AOTS group are positively the worst host ever to host anything. It's a good thing that there is TWIT to keep me sane or else I would be forced to write e-mails in large, red, bold fonts to the G4 producers and those idiots at comcast condemning all of them to the deepest pits of hell were they'll be forced to watch reruns of AOTS for the next couple of eons.=)) Only good thing left on G4 in my opinion is Morgan Webb.We need Leo back!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0where's fresh gear on that list? I miss that much more than ffm and robot wars
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0F**K G4 they were maid my some people known as leo,kevin and the rest even if they would not be back and nor would I.
- K3V2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0About time G4 USA got their heads out of their asses and brought some Tech back into the mix.
- Paintguru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No way I'm ordering digital cable just to get CFH. Shame they couldnt get it onto a standard cable channel.
