this is obviously fake but has any one bothered to scan the bar code images just to see if it says anything?

I think it's a fake.. maybe those losers at G4 are just trying to get people to watch their crummy show(s)?

What is "Attack of the show" even about? I personally don't trust anything they claimed to have found but dont tell us the URL they found. It probably decodes to say "watch attack of the show" Razz

Ahh damn, The screen savers was the only show i liked on techtv. Now they went and ruined that as well i'd imagine. Damn g4.

You sure they were owned by microsoft at one point? I know before they were called techtv they were called zdtv, owned by the ziff davis corp.

Does microsoft own ziff davis?

actually microsoft never owned techtv. that was a rumor that was later found to be false. Microsoft was supposed to start a tech driven channel and people connected it to techtv. But techtv was owned by ziffdavis.then they merged with a low rate gaming channel from basic cable. they became g4techtv then back to g4.

TechTV started as ZDTV in the late 90s, then it was bought by Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft). G4 was started by Comcast to corner the market on video game TV a few years later. Neither one was all that successful and they were both losing a lot of money. The G4 execs decided that they could boost their ratings by getting their channel into more homes. The easiest way to do this is to buy a channel with a wider subscriber base, so they bought TechTV from the Paul Allen (who at the time was not really working with MS, but did own a lot of stock in them) a year or so ago. In short, G4 is currently owned by Comcast.
