    TechTV used to be my favorite channel. I know it was taken over by Comcast (G4 crap) but what the Fu*k are they doing? Screenscravers rocked before with Leo and Patrick. Now they are sexing it up and the content sucks. Also what happened to tech live? It was a great tech news show. All they have have right now is game reviews. I'm very dissapointed. There really is NOTHING left to watch on TV.

    (Poor Leo is now in Toronto hosting the substandard (Canadian version of) call for help. I think Canada is the greatest country in the world but canadian broadcasting is crap.)

    Wow..you must have been living under a rock. TV in general- that includes techTV up until 3 years ago- has royally sucked. But there are substitutes on the web...

    Techtv was good last year (or even 4 months ago). Comcast aquisition (and subsequent degradation of techtv) occured fairly recently.

    examples of "substitutes on the web" ...?

    I don't think so. At best, it was technology for newbz...

    Examples:
    -slashdot.org
    -linuxquestions.org
    pretty much any online periodical.

    You could waste tonnes of time on higher quality content. Remember, TV is about selling audiences these days...
