Tech shows on TV

mr_disc

Hi there, just wondering if anyone knows if there are any tech shows on Tv these days, the reason why i ask is i happened to stumble across one at the week-end ( on BBC news 24 or something , it was called " click " !! ) and it wasnt bad at all, i remember Sky News had one ( a few years ago at this stage ) in which they reviewed new products, dealt with viewer questions, and had reports from various consumer electronics shows etc.

Anyone know of any ? , or what do / did they think of the two mentioned above ?

Aye there is Click! alright on BBC News24, where that Kate Russell (from the [.tv] era) hosts a part of it. Bring back [.tv] tech channel!

I'd be interested to know of other similar programmes myself.

There are streams of gadget reviews on cnet.com and there may be some on g4tv.com if you've broadband. There is probably many more video streaming sites in similar veins.

theres not a lot (or no) tech shows on tv here, on terrestrial anyway.
theres plenty of good tech vidcasts out there though, dl.tv, crankygeeks, diggnation, hak.5, and lab rats being some of my favourites
