My college's cable provider is DirecTV, so maybe it's them?

I stopped getting it after it starting sucking... So I would not have a clue.

Also, may I propose removal of the title's second word?

	As long as it's good during Ninja Warrior, I'm fine. Everything else on G4 is not worth watching... Except for X-Play every now and then. ____________________

X-Play lost my respect after saying that Beatmania ripped on Guitar Hero.

I never really liked G4. I saw a few shows and their coverage on E3 was terrible at best, so I swore off ever going to that channel again.

So what's an alternative, if you guys hate it so much?

Apparently, they have this super huge news that they're going to unveil pretty soon, and I'm curious as to what it is. Maybe the station's going to get better?

I watch it for x-play, aots, and tng. There's really not that much else on there. Ninja Warrior was interesting, but I kinda got bored with it.

I get my news from either my customers, common sense, friends at work and, well, work in general. I really don't look on the net anymore for news, I tend to find out one way or another.

I've hated G4 ever since they ate, digested, defacated, then set fire to the remains of... TechTV.

TechTV, this one's for you.

Under false pretenses. beatmania came out in 1997 and they called it a fucking Guitar Hero ripoff, and in their review they only played 5 key licensed songs, not 7 key KO songs.

Although beatmania US did suck, it had no right to be considered a knock off. If anything, Guitar Hero should have been considered a knock off of Konami's Guitar Freaks, which was made in 98.

Uhh... is there anyone on this forum other than me who watches G4 then?

I'd like to know if the signal is wonky only in my area, only for DirecTV, or what's going on here, or *something*.

I stopped watching it after The Screensavers was gone, along with all the good TechTV shows.

And I don't have cable/satellite, so...

Even after we got digital cable, I never watched it. The only thing I saw on it was a clip of some guy blowing something up, and it was only a few seconds long.

When my brother was watching this year's E3 coverage on G4, I was watching it the interweb.

My brother watches it, and when I lived with him I had a tendency to join in. Nowadays I basically don't watch TV. There's only about 2 hours worth of shows I want to see per week, and I have satellite, so actually picking them up is pretty much impossible, plus I always end up working during that time. Thank God for torrents.

(That doesn't count animé watched on my computer/DS, though.

)

	I don't watch it much anymore... but I get the used-to-be TechTV side... shows aren't as good, and they moved X-Play's time slot... also, so they gave 1 review and you guys disliked what other people thought. So what if the facts are wrong? It's an opinion. Besides, I remember them saying it FELT like a Guitar Hero rip-off. ____________________

*sigh*...why does every single topic like this inevitably turn into a hatefest?

"hey guys so-and-so isn't working"
"BLAAAUGH I HATE THAT CRAP" (repeat ad nauseam)

	Originally posted by tyty210 Besides, I remember them saying it FELT like a Guitar Hero rip-off. I'm pretty sure the exact words were "It's just a Guitar Hero rip off." No ambiguity there. BMF: People were (and very much still to this day) very disdainful that they took our beloved TechTV, absorbed it, digested it then shit it out and flushed it down the toilet. It's a worthless network. ____________________ ( ﾟ³ﾟ)三№♥

Well that, and he asked if anyone else watched it, and we replied "no, because blah blah blah".
