💾 Did you know? TechTV was originally launched in 1998 as ZDTV — a channel all about computers & the internet.

It was home to cult hits like The Screen Savers and X-Play!

Here is Brett Larson’s #TechTV review of the first #iMacG4. What a throwback!

LOL I also remember having a huge celebrity crush on him back in the day. 😂🤭🙈

I remember seeing Becky Worley on the shows “TechLive” and “Call for Help” on #TechTV back in the early 2000s when I was just a dweeb kid. Now she’s on ABC News!!! Good for her.

Rediscovered the autographs I got when I was 12 from Patrick Norton and Martin Sargent of TechTV's "The Screen Savers", circa 2002.

I got this when they came to Houston for a small convention. They hosted a fun Q&A panel.

I remember there being a lot of PCs at the convention playing (I think) Unreal Tournament 2003.

Share around, if you must!

Does anyone know of any ZDTV/TechTV/G4 archives? I'm aware of the uploads on Archive.org and the TechTV bulk torrent.

I know there's people who collect this stuff, but I'm not looking to download re-encoded videos from YouTube or BitChute. Would like the stuff to be as raw as they can be.

Does anyone have any tapes they personally digitized? Does anyone have tapes they would even be willing to ship out to be digitized? Any DVR or other off-air recordings? Any of those old ASF files they used to provide on the website?

Hell, I'd even be willing to preserve the international version of GameSpot TV that aired on YTV (in Canada) and Fox Kids' Cyberzone block (in Australia.)

Sometime in 2000 or 2001, I called into The Screen Savers and actually got to speak to Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton live! I've been scouring the internet trying to find the episode but came up empty.😞

The question I had was about 56k modems and ISPs. I had recorded it but seemed to have lost the tape. Maybe one day someone will upload it but I'm not giving up!

I've been binging Computer Chronicles for some reason. Fascinating stuff watching technology evolve. Makes me miss #TechTV.

@dtnsshow This looks interesting. #TechTV was my channel.

Whatever happened to #Enzyte Bob? He seemed like a cheery fella.

Just recently saw an old commercial for this on some old #TechTV feeds, did a simple google search, and wow, Bob's been in jail.
