Any new computer channel coming soon?

Just wondering if there was any Computer or Tech channel starting on the sky platform in the near future.

They almost have a channel on how to wash your dog. So why not a good computer channel that the sky customer will get some use from.

How did you know about the upcoming RoverClean Channel ???

But seriously, I haven't heard of any new Tech channel, which is a shame because it's something we could do with.

if only Sky would talk to Tech TV. i heard about them on digital spy and apparently they want to broadcast in Europe

I thought it was immature and crap when I turned it on, basically the peoples attitudes and voices annoyed me.
Maybe just the time of day.

its not great but its entertaining.. i stick it on sometimes if im doing stuff on my pc and the game clips play.. some good music and sometimes games i have not seen yet so i know what to expect..

Game-Network is better than any radio station on the waves especially the music in the "retro clip" videos but theres just too many "call this number" ads.

Gameone is on hotbird but my french is pretty weak.
There has been odd TechTV feeds last year, one of the business channels used to show "Fresh Gear" which is a TechTv programme which was similar to ..mm cant remember the name of the programme, but there was a really fit girl who just showcased everything from T3 on [.TV].

Oh I think her name was Kate Russell! :rolleyes:

I would really like to see a tech channel like a new [.tv] or TechTV which is supposed to be good and is interested in European coverage.

chernobyl · 06-02-2002 9:29pm

Kate was ok, but not the one i was thinking of.

byte · 06-02-2002 9:37pm

Oh!:) What was the programme? Was it the one where they got people to test new gear? Or was it just a T3 promo show like the games programme from GamePlay?

chernobyl · 06-02-2002 9:40pm

The programme was basically a T3 magazine and was sponsered by Dabs.

The name eludes me and its driving my mad.

byte · 06-02-2002 9:48pm

AAAArgh! I remember the prog you are referring to sponsored by dabs.com!!! Damned if I can remember the name of it! Now it will bug me for ages! :eek:

I remember the other programmes name was Roadtest but that's irrelevant now!:rolleyes:
