    God I miss techTV when it first started. Talk about the best channel on cable period. I spent toooo much time watching it. Was so freaking great.

    Nick also needs to die. The last straw is when they dropped invader zim. Pitiful Humans!

    You're semi wrong

    You must only be tuning in on Fridays, and on the weekends.

    During the week, G4TTV Canada shows the old seasons of Icons at 11 and 3:30 on various days. The programming guide on the cable boxes don't show it, but check www.g4techtv.ca and click schedule. Yesterday's episode was about Naughty Dog.

    Monday at 11am
    Tuesday at 3:30pm
    Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11am

    Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are all repeats of the Friday 8pm showing

    (all times are EST)

    Like I said, check out: http://www.g4techtv.ca/static/schedule.shtml

    Their schedule listed on digital cable is wrong, you need to follow that schedule. I did the exact same thing as you before I realized most of the "Players" listings were in fact Icons. I went to their site and saw the huge difference.

    they did Mega Man today :)

    I got all of season 3 encoded and compressed, half of 2 in raw video.

    If you want, I can make copies of whatever episodes I have on DVDs, but I'd just need you to cover the cost of the discs and shipping (I think Xpresspost is $5 within Ontario)

    I have 30 raw episodes, 20 episodes from Season 3 (encoded), and 2 from Season 2 (encoded)

    It's about 15 gigs all together due to the raw eps.

    Walker's contract wasn't renewed, so he's off the show on a regular basis. He'll be showing up for a couple of episodes here and there.

    And there's no way for you to get tickets to the show, it's a closed set.

    Raw episodes are 650ish megs, encoded are about 200.

    I always thought that they both ignored, alienated and pissed off their supposed target demographic.
