| Post subject: | The Death of TechTv? |
It has started... this week leo has left the screen saves to now only host call for help on techtv. I bivle this is the start of very bad things to come. TechTv has been bougth by G4 (a gaming chanel) and alougth they have yet to merge the cahles yet i bilve the effects of this are being felet. I think G4 is going to try to retool TechTv for gaming and for a yonger adouice. This i why i bivle leo has left TSS, and porbly TechTV alltogther soon b/c i bivle G4 is killing CFH. I find this to be very sad, techtv was on of the best chaines i have ever seen and the only one that has had shows on video games and tehconlyg with out being overly lame or boraing. But with this new G4 crap i fear that there are trying to make it more "hip" and will just kill it. The effect has all ready ocored on TSS witch is now boraing with out leo. Also even wores then just the content going to hell i am woried that teachtv canada (the only verson we get here) will fade out and will become only U.S. since some of few shows G4 whonts to keep from techtv can not be/are not aired in canada they will have less show to acualy show here. so i think that will put a stop to canada techtv soon. Oh well i gusse leo is leveing the ship b4 it gose down. It is to bad, i gusse all we can hope for is a new network to rises from the ashish after G4 gose bankroped (and it will). Aoruding to an arical about this ""X-Play," "Robot Wars," "Anime Unleashed," "The Screen Savers" and "Fresh Gear" will likely continue. ". i find this very disapoting, X-play is grat but robot wars in boraing (and can be seen on space) as well with fresh Gear. TSS is deing fast and Anime Unleashed may be the best show in the worald but is not alowed to play in canada. So what do we have left in the end? X-pay. wow that just going to suck. and what about Tech Live? That is a great new show, and now will probly be dead. another quote G4 was "The new network will be about video games, the gamer lifestyle, gadgets and gear," Ms. Green said. "Our consumer is the iPod-carrying, HDTV-watching, camera-phone-using VOD generation.". All i can say about that is KILL ME NOW!!! why most they kill TechTV? so so very sad. |

I don't know if that is what it was, but they still shouldn't have changed something so awsome. If they were to change anything it should be 'Anime Unleached' it's a poor excuse for an anime, and an overal sub-par show. How can anyone stand it the translation is so bad.

Maybe "anime unleached" isn't the same thing as "anime unleashed" , I got anime straight from japan for a while, with the sattlite |

techtv is a great program but is crawling with crap shows like future fight machines that belongs in an army ad its is totaly opposite of the shows programs. Xplay is cool, anime unleashed is great exept they switch the shows so often you don't get the whole story behind it and that a major problem for me at least, But i still like Inyushia on catoonnetwork, well actualy its adult swim but still its cooler.  . Also Electric playground, if you get it i am in america so if you don't get it that sucks, its a great program that reviews games and hardware and other stuff but no were nere techtv.   |

I unsuscribed to that channel the second I found out about the "merger". The only thing left for me on TV now is "CSI: NY" (Crime Scene Investigation: New York) starting on Wednesday 22nd at 7:00 PM I believe, on Spike TV, as well as "The Daily Show" on the Comedy Network every night at 11. 
Those are the only two shows I never miss. I'm not about to buy that channel again just to watch one show, screw that. |

area is not cool it is the spawn of the devil (G4) (well i guse it is good the 1st time u see it but affter that u soon learn they play the same games on every ep b/c the g4 part is bougth out by serveral game companys.), it is a shame u did not see it while it realy was techtv. They lost so many good shows and had them all replaced with MTV whont to be ones. |

Sory to bring up an old topic and doble post, but i just saw g4techtv agane affter being w/o cable for 20 days. And all i can say is, wow. Is there any techtv left in there? TSS is a shell of what it used to be now with only keven being the person with any kolage what so ever and not much comaperd to the old hosts. And the new staff is like MTV go wrong. I also hured today that they are geting ride of futuer fighing mashens and innvent this. Tho they are not the best shows to start with, it dose show that the techtv part is dieing even more, so much so that i whould not even consider this network techtv in any way any more. There is only one show left that is acatuly about technogly and that is Call for help, tho it is only on in canada. Shure there are some good game shows, but only the ones not made by G4 and can all be goten on other networks like space ecxepted for X-Play. But X-Play is 1/2 of what it used to be and will be just as dead as TSS in at least a month. I can not see how G4 is going to last much longer, they are losing viewers fast and they where going backrouded b4 they mergeae with techtv. One thing i do find asmuing about this is that the g4 forums are now fileld with the old techtv fans but are also mixed in with the mindless MTV perteen flamers. It has lead to some very intresting topics, almost the flame wars of all flames wars. It has goten to the point that there is now an froum on there bord for flaming about the merger. Even tho G4 is trying to cecsers every one they are posting to fast and in to many numbers to block them all nor delete all there posts. As i preidicted in the start of this topic techtv is dead and all the remainds is G4 chewing on the remaines of a once informtive, enterning and unbasied netwrok. Even tho it has been fun watching this train reck i think that the last of the true techtv fans are leaving the network and hoping for better networks to rise from the ashes. |

I dont know how well u whould fit in there, most G$ kids are.....unintelcuatl at best. There flames whould consits of "you suck" and "$%@# you" while the techtv views whould be going on about how evil G4 is for taking over techtv and killing it just so they whould not have to comepet with them. Tho it whould deftaly be intresting to see there reaction to your....uniqieck persolitatly. |

Hacker Dan : did you mean to put "g$" cuz thats kind of a coincidence seeing that microsoft is knnown as "M$", and they are taking over everything and destroying it , now G4 is also ... just thought i'd bring the coincidence up ... that is all ooya one more thing,G4TechTv is the only network that is playing the NHL Season! they are playing every game on NHL 2005 every saturday, just like the regular season .. i find this very interesting, even if none of you are interested in hockey |
