Dear Chris; I love TechTV and hate, nay, loathe G4. Do you foresee another network similar to TTV in form and function or perhaps TTV trying again on a competing network (Discovery/Science)?

I want my TechTV!

I dont think a network like TechTV will ever come around in the near future, not on main cable networks, the viewer base is just not there.

but alas! there is Revision3 which is online... http://revision3.com/

some shows to note:

  1. Tekzilla - most like the screen savers, even features Patrick Norton.
  2. Hak5 - show about hacking type stuff
  3. OS.ALT - Open source stuff
  4. and many more

btw I think it is owned by the same people that run the Discovery network at cable tv

Revision3 was self owned, but was recently acquired by Discovery Communications, the owner of Discovery Channel

I love Hak5 and OS.ALT!

I agree with @trueb, it's a niche market. I mean I'd love it if it'll be back but the fanbase wont be as large as lets say TBS.

TechTV will never happen ever again! TechTV will not be a TV network again
