Cool beans. Hopefully, by then, I'll be able to download it with iTunes 5 onto my iPod Video.

Sounds good but I was hoping for a Tech TV meets real tech insted of this crap that they put out. (Well except for AOTS)

Awesome. Hopefully this will be a tech show worth watching, unlike any of the shows on G4...

Finally, I'll be able to get it up here in Bella Coola. Public Television, that is.
