| 236063 | 2004-05-13 10:21:00 | I don't suppose Telstra gave any indication what (if) they would replace Tech TV with?? Maybe a 24Hr home improvement channel....yeah now that would be cool. Or perhaps a channel devoted to reality TV. Imagine 24 Hrs of "Fantasy Island" and "Survivor - The Champions champions (best of the best of the best)" Grumble Grumble X-( |

| 236066 | 2004-05-14 11:45:00 | that is very much the same thing..... as of last week every one knew that TechTV was going to stop and become part of G4TV but as for jobs, most of the staff thought they had jobs with G4. looks like comcast is driving there customers away..... I am sorry to see leo go... and kevin and others. |

| 236068 | 2004-05-14 20:50:00 | We have sky, but only just (nothing more than the basic package; no movies, no sport, not much else . It is pretty much all crap . Infact, the only thing I use it for is to watch the - with good quality (bar stormtime) - free-to-air channels (1, 2, 3, and a bit of c4) . We only have it because my father loves the news channels . I went to a friends and he had TechTV, and i spent the whole day watching it . Fascinating stuff . It's pretty gutting that they are taking it away . . . but I could never get it anyway (Saturn dont service my suburb) . |

| 236069 | 2004-05-20 03:14:00 | Letter I got from Telstra today. IMPORTANT SATURN TV INFORMATION- TECH TV DISCONTINUED An American cable TV company called Comcast Corporation has recently purchased the Tech TV channel. Comcast Corporation has made the decision to discontinue broadcasting Tech TV internationally. Unfortunately this means that the Tech TV channel (channel button 34) will cease to be available on Saturn TV by approximately 7 June 2004. Because of the short notice of the discontinuction, TelstraCtear has no immediate plans to replace Tech TV. We are reviewing our ongoing channel line-up to ensure we continue to offer you a wide and exciting range of programming. I see they don't offer to reduce the price :-( Steve |

| 236070 | 2004-05-20 04:34:00 | I haven't received a letter yet, but it's the end of Saturn TV for me. No immediate plans to provide a tech channel...but hey you can keep paying the same rate. The vid store is only 2 minutes up the road so pay-per view movies don't hold great appeal. Nope, I'd rather have the lightspeed broadband....at least then I can get my tech fix on the net at breakneck speed. | Sb0h (3744) | ||
| 236071 | 2004-05-20 05:40:00 | could we all put some presure on saturn to get G4techtv?? a few phone calls, a few letters...... might work. |
