I wish Sky would advertise these 'minority sport' channels!!

I've had withdrawals ever since the last gamer channel (Italian, I think?) slipped into soft p*rn/phone dating dross

I reckon we start a petition to bring back ".TV"

That was a proper computer channel, bit like a computer magazine on TV. Had a bit of everything, problem solvers, tutorials, games. I think it was on a 4 hour rotation that restarted at 6pm.

I remember it well, Mikee. A good, well balanced computer orientated channel, as you say

It suddenly disappeared without an explanation as to why! I can't remember the blokes name who hosted it, but seem to remember he'd done 'techy' stuff on normal telly before? :scratch:

I think it was ahead of it's time and just couldn't get enough viewers to be cost effective. There were a few magazine freelancers on there but I think the guy you're referring to was Will Hanrahan (or similar!)
