Miami, FL | G4 is dead Comcast has put the last nail in the coffin of the once great Tech TV. G4 is to be rebranded the Esquire Channel. A channel for the metrosexual man.

LOL, that totally figures, the network has been moving that way for a while...
G4 became a steaming pile pretty quickly after assimilating and then basically trashing any TechTV assets they found useful. |

This sucks, as a gamer and fan of AOTS and the other shows on G4, how am I going to get my gaming news/entertainment now? I am not a metrosexual or care about stuff like that. I care about games, gadgets, and geeking out on the latest tech. |

1 edit | If you or anyone else is interested in technology, gadgets, computers, the Internet, etc., I recommend Leo Laport's Twit network as a great resource. Access at:
»twit.tv/
A schedule of live production streams is on the right of the page.
Click on shows and all shows. Currently ~25 different shows are being produced weekly and many hundreds of episodes are available for download. There is a schedule of when the shows may be viewed streamed live on the live feed link. The advantage of the live stream is that there is a very active chat room. Live shows are not continuously provided but the live feed will present reruns of recent shows if no show is currently being produced.
There was a gamers show for a while, but it didn't get much traction, so it was cancelled.

Comcast miss handed g4 for years and it only got on directv by buying out tech tv after removing it from comcast systems.
good thing directv dropped g4 when it did.
Now will they to put some part time limited sports on this new channel to force directv to pick it up??
have a deal with it and CSN- Philly / TCN as well CSN - NW? / CSN - Houston / CSS? |

AOTS and X-Play had already been canceled a couple of months ago. Wonder if Kevin Pereira and Adam Sessler had a heads up, explaining why they both bailed earlier in the year. |

I say MLB Strike Zone or Sun Sports. |
|
| They have to reach an agreement with MLB to offer strike zone. That totally shocks me that they don't offer it though. I think even dish offers it. |

If you need TV to get that, you aren't a geek.

Metro Weather is from KC area and at the moment TWCKC is the only one that has it. I would to see Chicago TV Land,Metro Sports and so on other Comcast. I would love to see YES Network,NESN,Sun Sports,The OKC Thunder on Fox Sports Midwest Plus on my Comcast. |
