Where are the new HD channels

[Camdog916]

It's been months since Dish has given us new HD channels. Any word on any new HD channels coming out soon? G4 just went HD and would love to have G4HD on dish.

Golf/Versus were split into 2 seperate HD channels. The rest coming in Feb I believe.

Why? They took a perfectly useful channel (TechTV) and sodomized it. Creating a channel of lukewarm, homogenized MTV-esqe crap. The only thing of any use on that channel is the Star Trek reruns.

How do you expect Charlie to add all of these HD channels and not keep the prices down? Charlie has to feed his kids too.

+100 TechTV was a great channel. The screensavers was a classic show

Yes, I loved the Screensavers. Now Attack of the Show is crap. I also liked Call for Help. I think mainly because Leo Laporte is a Mac guy. I think the only show left from TechTV is XPlay.

Must be some old folks on here. Attack of the Show is great.

Here's Leo's website:

LOL: The Life of Leo

And Call For Help was a great show.

Don't forget to tune into Webbalert, Morgan Webb's daily tech roundup show.

WebbAlert - Your Daily Tech Roundup

One more kind-of way to relive TechTV

I actually talked with Leo Laporte the other night. Hes a good guy and is truly the professor of technology.

Unfortunately as was mentioned on Monday nights Charlie Chat no new HD until next year... yup the carrot keeps dangling.

 

[Poke]

Yeah well lets hope the new Sat gets to it's orbit..

 

[mjrusso45]

Wow, i really miss the Screensavers. What a great show. As said above, I think "sodomized" is an appropriate term for what happened to TechTV.

For those that liked the screen savers, Leo has the This Week In Tech podcast with lots of rotating guests from the Screen Savers. Not quite teh same, but still good.

Attack of the Show blows!!! G4 is the dumbest channel ever.

 

[kb7oeb]

You have to go back to ZDTV and when it was Kate and Leo for it when it was good.

 

[maxmoto]

Those were the good 'ol days.
