Tech TV.

[Circlenaut]

Does anyone here watch Tech TV

 

[ViperVin2]

yah once in awhile

 

[dirtboy]

I used to.

 

[olds]

Every chance I get. I travel a lot for work and saw it while I was out of town, about 2 years ago. When I got back, I got satellite because it wasn't on cable here. I don't think it's as good as it was but I still like it.

 

[Schlocemus]

I think it was better when it was ZDTV...

 

[Lars]

I don't like to watch Tech TV. Really don't know why though.

 

[CurtOien]

I used to but I don't have cable now.

 

[Paulson]

I watch the screen savers...

 

[Smolek]

Yes

 

[peto]

Probably would if I had it. In the meantime I watch that guy that sells computers on ShopNBC, you know the guy with the big head and annoying voice, and laugh about how little he knows about computers.

 

[Dark4ng3l]

yeah sometimes...

 

[d0ofy]

I used to watch it, but the focus seems to be on newbies. I want to see more enthusiast programming.
Leo Laporte is quite annoying.

 

[MrCodeDude]

I watch a few shows. Extended Play and Screen Savers mostly.. Sometimes I watch Call for Help, but most of the time, it's a stupid question..

I watch Screen Savers and Tomorrow's World from time to time.

Remember Net Talk Live, anyone? If I remember, they became sponsored by the Cue-Cat or whatever, and turned into one long infomercial for it, basically. That thing made no sense...but anyways. I found a couple neat websites there back in the day. Last time I checked it was on at something like 3am Sundays or something.

Exactly. The reason they changed is they were(and are still) losing money. ZDTV was mostly for enthusiasts, and they found out that there are more n00bs then there are enthusiasts, therefore n00bs=ratings. Bastards! :|

I still watch extended play, b/c it hasn;t been dumbed down.

I like Leo, I find that guy Chris, that fills in, annoying.

He's annoying to most enthusiasts, but to a n00b, he is like some (stereotypical) goofy computer guy. That makes him appealing to n00bs, I guess.

I still resent them totally for getting rid of all the enthusiast programming(the screen savers USED to be excellent for underground tips, linux, etc. but nowhere to be found now) :|

[Danman]

I do, sometimes.

 

[woodly6]

Yes all the time, even though most of the host of the show are complete dorks, but I find it entertaining.

 

[Jagoff]

All the time

 

[Kadarin]

I don't watch it.. It's sort of like listening to CNet Radio, in that these people either don't know what they're talking about, or they're deliberately dumbing down their content to meet the needs of the average AOL user. Now, if there was an Anandtech TV, I'd be there in a heartbeat!
