When is Directv getting the G4 channel???

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They had it and got rid of it. There are no signs of it coming back.

You may get better reply's here.

that was dropped long ago due to viewership vs cost; why bring it back? Nothing has changed.


G4 (TV channel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

G4 has no good shows any more that is worth keeping the channel. Now if you want to watch re-runs and old shows of cops then G4 is the channel for you. Back when it was TechTv it was a good channel. I enjoyed watching that channel. Leo and Patrick Norton had some good information on that show. Since it became G4 that channel has gone down the toilet. I guess that is why Directv tool that channel off it network.

DirecTV has stated that it will not be offering G4 going forward.

I would take G4 back and gladly give up about 20 channels for it. I miss G4.

I don't miss G4 at all. I miss TechTV. I wish someone would re brand that channel and bring it back.

TechTV was good
G4 is just a rerun channel and you can see those shows on different channels

Every once in a while, they have a feature on a new game coming out that I'd like to catch. Would like to have it back and not have to get the sports package for ESPN Classic either!

 

[Skee7ix]

I like Ninja Warrior, AOTS, X-Play...
And haven't seen those in other channels.

Tech TV was awesome. G4, not so much. The only thing I ever watched after the change over was occasional E3 coverage and other live tech events (although much like Screen Savers turning into Attack of the Show, the tech coverage was watered down, over produced and unnecessarily glitzy.)

I have a feeling it will be reborn as a new channel in the coming years focusing on a different niche.

When I signed up with DirecTV back in 1998, they got rid of Travel Channel. Then it came back either at the end of 1998 or early 1999. With G4, I guess the case was that DirecTV figured there wasn't enough interest in the channel and it cost too much to retain carriage. It's been gone for a year. Seems more like two years.

I don't miss G4 at all. I miss TechTV. I wish someone would re brand that channel and bring it back.

If you have the capital for such adventure, I would gladly do it! In the meantime, leo has TWIT, wich I'm surprised hasn't morphed into a cable channel.

Pretty sure you can watch any of their meaningful content online?

G4 is a fringe channel. Just like all the HD channels they don't have. You don't want it or need it. Please be happy with what you have.

If you want G4 really bad you can get it from SRL HITS2HOME. Programming Center | 4DTV Programming

You'll just need a 6 foot + C-Band dish and a 4DTV receiver.

Im still wondering if wwe will but G4 and they are keeping quiet about it since they plan to start the new channel middle of next year and this channel is up already and all they need to do is negotiate with direct and few cable systems

I've never been able to confirm weather the ITC DVB feed is the real deal or a test loop. I've heard it's a test loop.
