I am happy G4 tv exists yet it should never have merged with Tech TV. I was worried when zdtv turned in tech tv because i was scarried that what happened during the techtv G4 tv merger would happened at that time. It was after tech tv was canceled that i sold my tv and have not owned one since then. I would buy a tv if you brought Undo TV in being. Please, bring UndoTv to life.

At first, I blamed the cable company for the loss of TechTV. A year later, I had the idea of requesting for TechTV, but to no avail. At that time it was already G4TV, and no longer available internationally. I was saddened by TechTV's demise, especially because it was a channel dedicated to technology. Imagine having a 24/7 channel that caters what you are interested in. For business-related reasons, TechTV had to be scrapped. I managed to move on, but I think it would still be best if TechTV would be resurrected. It has been three years since I watched the last bit of broadcast from TechTV.

"Undo TV" to start beta testing soon http://blogebrity.com/blog/2006/12/undotv.php "TechTV fans rejoice! Your one time favorite network (you know, before Comcast screwed it up and and got rid of all the good shows and people) is coming back, sort of. That's right, Undo.tv, which is a new project by Leo Laporte and Chris Pirillo that aims to bring tech programming to fans of the old TechTV and just about anyone interested in tech via the net. Fans of TechTV will recognize many of their favorite hosts from the network in Undo's content. Viewers will also be able to create and upload their own content that will be eligible to become part of Undo.tv's official lineup of shows. Currently the online network is invite only, and you can sign up to maybe get and invite, or at least that is what Leo Laporte said when I spoke with him the other day. He feels that "At the very least it's going to be a central place where listeners can find quality tech content from the extend TechTV family.". And although he cannot be certain, he says that it could turn out to be the online rebirth of TechTV. Leo is more than capable of running such a network, as he is no stranger to the online media business. The TWiT podcast (or netcast, as he insists it be called) network is one of the largest with hundreds of thousands listeners each month. They record new episodes for their many podcasts every week. Almost everyday! He speculates that, " It won't be very long before people start getting their TV programming from the Internet" and that " IPTV is just around the corner". He says that the internet is probably the best way for he and the other TechTV hosts to distribute the type of tech oriented programming they specialize in, and he may be right. Although no official announcements have been made he said that Undo.tv is expected to launch in January. So sign up now!" Here's an old blog entry from former Call for Help host Chris Pirillo.

I never really got how and why the company was completely engulfed by G4's dark void so I decided to look it up on Wiki. I was completely suprised in that over 250 personnel lost their jobs because of G4! I still can't believe it, and refuse to. I grew up with Tech TV and seeing all you guys on tv made me assured and relaxed that nothing had changed, but now, G4's criminal organization takes control over the airwaves and it's horrible. G4 is and always was a lousy network and I hate to know that it took apart the great and legendary Tech TV. You guys on Tech TV are still heroes and I know that there is still a future for Tech TV, it's just currently in the shadows waiting for it's reprise. I would do anything, hell, even open my own network on tv if it meant bringing all you guys together and every other person that put in their part to make Tech TV a community-based enviornment. You guys need your jobs back and G4 should be taken down. I'm just about as angry as Leo is with G4. Chris, please do anything you can to reunite everyone of the Tech TV staff together. I'll do everything I can possibly do too, at 17 years of age, that I can!!!TAKE TO THE AIRWAVES!~Rob~ Chris, that would be a great idea!
