Uh... what? Is this effective soon? I also haven't heard anything about this... what other channels are affected?

edited to add: ah, 11/1. Ah well, I only DVR Xplay and AOTS, and really only watch Xplay regularly.

what?!? that sucks.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

could be as of Nov. 1 according to AotS.

i got through to DirecTV and they said they had no idea what i was talking about, but noted my account and i said that if it goes so do i.

WTF?! During what part of the show did they announce this? I fastforwarded through some of the episode and didnt hear this!

Wtf Directv! First no AMCHD and now dropping g4?! Im really regretting signing up with them!

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

It's not DirecTV's fault. Comcast owns G4 and demands more money. Same thing happened with Comcast owned Versus last year.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

Only thing I watch on G4 is Ninja Warrior and I can get those elsewhere if need be.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

Same here. Don't even have it listed in my program guide favorites list.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

Wait wait wait! G4 is still relevant?!

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

I haven't had fox in a week and a half, thankfully I d/l most of my shows, but I just got a 7.1 system and am looking to have the best situation, so whatevs. G4 was techtv, and techtv was something I watched when I had a job at Directv when I watched tv for half my shift+..

it was towards the beginning (at least first half hour). think during a commercial break (which is why you may have missed it) Kevin did a taped spot about it all. just call the number i posted and you will find out a little more.

Whats G4

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

I'll miss Morgan Webb

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

I'm an old man (31), so I want G4 to die a cold, hard death so that TechTV can come back.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

I really enjoy Attack of the Show. I DVR it every night, and usually watch it (albeit fast-forwarded so it takes only about 20 minutes) before I go to bed. I'll miss it.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

Most of their content is on their website anyways - and you can also watch their shows through TVersity.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

yep. buh bye.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

there is a plus side though...i called up and just got a free hd dvr box and service for a year. so there's that.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

they also said the negotiations were pretty much dead and weren't pursuing.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

Comcast did not want Directv subscribers to have access to the channel anymore. Why give your competitor a property that draws subscribers away? The only hope would be for the FCC to step in and do something. We are going to be seeing more and more of this as television providers increasingly own the content.

I used to watch Cheaters, but then I discovered that heroin led to less self-loathing.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

that is what i was afraid of and told them so on phone call.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

Ah, the growing Comcast monopoly. Sucks for you guys who still watch it, but I was a TechTV loyalist and loathe them.

Re: Buh Bye G4 on DirecTV!
 

i liked X-Play and AotS was always a fave, occasionally watched Cops and they sometimes had a good late night movie. oh well.

i'll gladly trade free DVR (something that i never had) for a channel that i really only watched 2 shows from.
