Satelite, i can't be bothered with that. I have cable TV so i'll see about that.

Since most of us here are from Scotland and happen to like Tech TV and since it isn't ran with such wonderful people as the BBC maybe you could get a live stream up ZD?.

Great TV station I watch it all the time (when I'm not on the computer). Screensavers is a great show.

sorry i did'nt make myself clear i meant to get it to a server then broadcast it from there since datacenter bandwidth cheaper than for residential bandwidth in most cases other than cable etc...

True, but all the cable channels do ( hgtv, food ch, disc, E!, travel ch, etc. ). It's still a very informative channel.

Anybody in the UK (or spain!) watch "Game Network" - very, *very* bad TV. All the intros are done in powerpoint, they have about 3 presenters, only one of whom is english but they all try anyway and most of the content is 2 minute clips of really old games - pacman etc. :stickout

No i have never saw that game network before. It's like internet.com you know a top name with rubbish content.
