Do "techies" still watch tech tv?

I haven't been able to find anything aside from the Screen Savers that is the least bit tech related....and even the screen Savers has seen a very steady and rapid descent in it's coverage of all things tech......CALL YOUR CABLE COMPANY AND SAY I WANT MY TECH TV! lol...nevermind it's a lost cause.

    No, I haven't been watching since Kevin left. I used to live in SF and watch it all the time because the studio was only a couple of blocks away and the on location shots were all places I knew. Then I moved to LA and it became G4TechTV and now they were in Santa Monica and I recognized all the location shots but now they don't even talk about how computers work and only take one call a show. I stopped watching the entire channel. It could disappear for all I care. I was a big fan Martin Sargent too.

    I think we have a plus here due to G4TechTV Canada, since Comcast doesn't have controlling interest in it. We have the new Call for Help, and a new series called Gear and Gadgets. Basically an interesting Fresh Gear.

    For real tech I listen to the TWITS podcast.

    Podcasting does seem to be the way to go to get and stay in the loop these days. BTW, Patrick is on almost every TWIT podcast, so, if he is writing, he is moonlighting with Leo regarding the podcasts.

    There does seem to be a movement toward "all things GAME" on G4. It was apparent when everyone started to bail. Gems like ScreenSavers format is gone for good. Also, Martin Sargent's show was a hoot. Whatever happened to Martin ... rehab?

      I've been subscribing to so many podcasts that I've almost lost count. I've only unsubbed from 3; one never downloaded properly, one was juvenile, and I didn't like hearing the host of the third - plus, it was a videogame-only 'cast, and I'm conpletely bored by those.

      I never really got into Unscrewed. Martin got on my nerves when he guest hosted TSS a few years ago.
