Just got hooked up with digital cable and a PVR, and got hooked on Leo on Call For Help (I can see how you guys in the US miss him), and to a lesser extent, Screen Savers. Anyway, I read though the other threads regarding the whole G4/TechTV debacle, but my question is:

How often are new episodes actually taped and aired on the Canadian network? I know that CFH has been airing for a short while on the network, but the episode that I just watched was only the second one (Leo mentioned it). On another episode that I recently saw, he mentioned that he is going to be in Toronto one week a month for the tapings of the episodes. I have about five or six episodes of each show taped, but I was curious on how often I will actually see new episodes.

I think that the original run episodes generally run 6 and 7PM EST, in case that helps anyone. I couldn't find any information on the Canadian TechTV website.

Yeah I'm glad Leo's back

Like you I heard of the "one week a month" for tapings. But how many? 5,8,10 episodes?

At first I was excited about the G4techtv merge but man, it's all reruns reruns and reruns...

It wouldn't be so bad if the reruns were of stuff that's actually good, like old Screen Savers episodes, but they always fill their schedule with the cruddier shows (Players, Arena, etc).

What really stinks about the whole deal is that I only just started watching TechTV a few months before the merger. I had just discovered the awesome network, and had it ripped away just as suddenly.

Same with me Vlad.

Now it's all full of shows which always have some basketball player going "YO!!! I BE PLAYIN MADDEN 2005 ON DA PS2!!!" for half an hour to some half talent personalitys who were obviously hired only because they looked "cool" with knowledge being worth less than nothing.

I don't even get the network anymore, back to basic cable for me. They changed the time of Screensavers, and I can't watch it convienetly anymore...

I have just discovered SS and CFH (well I have just gotten access to it) and I really like them, but I have only been watching for a few days, and already have had numerous repeats.

Found on the website that they started airing last Monday, so tonight's would be the seventh episode. I guess they repeat them over and over again, since I have seen a couple of them a few times at various times already.

The call for help episodes aren't being shown in the same order they were taped, so you can't go by what they mention on air. There should be a new one every weekday.

The SreenSavers are airing repeats and pre-taped episodes right now, but will start putting out live shows from their new L.A. studio in September.
