G4 is only asking DirecTV 4 the same basic deal as past 3 yrs. DirecTV is claiming to not see value in G4.

If you have DTV and want to keep G4, call 1-888-9-WeAreG4 and let DTV know you want to keep G4.

I wonder if it's about G4 or about Comcast. Either way, I have DTV and doubt I'll even notice it's gone... until I'm bored and looking for Cops?

G4 is to gaming what SyFy is to science fiction -- almost but not entirely unrelated.

Maybe they'll replace it with the Cops channel, so no one will notice the difference.

Two words: Ninja Warrior!

Anyway, I called, I don't watch it very often, but I just know they'll replace it with another channel devoted to selling bulk knife collections, and while that's funny for a while, it gets old.

Wow, had no clue about this till I saw this thread. Not a big G4 watcher. I like Attack of The Show (in part because of all the nice female eye candy) but I wont hurt that much if it goes. Still, would rather have it then not have it. Although, not something I would leave DTV for.

I only liked a couple of shows I ever watched on that channel and since it is only available for me if I get another package on top of my regular cable it's not worth it.

I am dropping DTV because the cost of watching a couple shows is ridiculous when I can watch most of them for free on Hulu.

Yeah... Screw G4. I'm still holding a grudge over how they butchered all of TechTV's best shows.

All you'll miss on G4 is 20 episodes of cops or cheaters every day. I don't even know what channel # it is. Long live TechTV, good riddance G4.

basically,, if it's not on the torrents, It's not worth watching..

The extra step of someone who thinks a "specific piece of content" should be shared on the internet makes it marginally better than what the TV-exects decide to cram into the fall season..

I didn't say how much better,, but chances areee better..;)
