While...

Pros: Tons of helpful information
Cons: Very few

I’ve been able to catch ZDTV for almost a year now but it is only in the last 2 months that I’ve been watching. Now, I think I’m hooked. I keep it on this channel almost all day (except to watch TRL) There are many shows that may appeal to all viewers....

Pros: Have fun learning the net & computer
Cons: none

We were so happy that got Direct TV, because then we could have ZDTV!!! The channel is on more than anything! The whole family can sit down and get something out of this channel. As soon as my husband comes in the house, he sits down, takes off his...

Pros: Everything about it is good!
Cons: Nada!

My husband and I started watching ZDTV back in December of 1998. We became hooked! We watch the station almost all day! We watch the Screensavers every night, ZDNN News, Internet Tonight, Call for Help and all the others. It's a great station!

Pros: I even enjoy the commercials
Cons: A lot of repetitive programming

I recently went from Cable TV to Digital Cable TV and among one of the benefits in doing so, was that I discovered the ZDTV channel. Much of the program formatting will remind some of you of those very, very early MTV days when the presentation of their...

Pros: Helpful, interesting, useful
Cons: not always polished

You need to get away from the computer once in a while. What better to do than watch a cable channel about computing? Until they print tech articles on the back of cereal boxes, this is a good way to waste non-computing time.

I'm only going to...

Pros: Great place to learn, and Find news on the Net.
Cons: No emails answered Need more support.

I never knew how much I new about the internet and computers until I bought my Direct TV and found the Channel ZDTV. Its great, and I new very little. I Love to watch Call For Help. I learn something every time I watch it. I do know a great deal about...

Pros: Interactive, Informative, Friendly Hosts
Cons: Needs more shows - repeated too often in one day

I have a satellite system and was so glad that it had added ZDTV.

The channel is very interactive. You can contact them by snail mail, email, phone and even net cam. They also don't assume that you know everything. They'll take a step back...

Pros: Programming for the computer veteran as well as the novice
Cons: The 3-D rendered characters

To sum up ZDTV in one word...Wow.

I realize that this channel is currently only viewed by a small demographic (the computer geek), but the producers are making an effort to appeal to a much larger audience.

The novice computer user...

Pros: something for every computer user
Cons: wish there was MORE new stuff

Ok I admit it, I am a geek. Always have been though as a youngster found it very hard to admit to myself. Then I grew up and found out being a geek isn't so bad.

And then along came ZDTV where all the stars are, you guessed it, geeks. Well all...

Pros: Great programming, informative, entertaining. Victoria rules.
Cons: Not enough programming

Of all the television I watch about 1/3rd of it is ZDTV (soon to be TechTV.) That either says bad things about me (probably) or good things about the network (definitely.) Either way, everyone should be watching this station. It is based on Computers...

Pros: good for the intermediate student
Cons: the beginner is not helped much it seems

When I first saw ZDTV I thought that this program would be very valuable to me as a beginner to the internet and the modern computer. I have been disappointed. I have gotten little help from them. It may have more to do with my impatience than their...

Pros: Learning , interesting, Leo Laporte
Cons: None

This is a channel that we got when Primestar was bought out by Direct TV. I was not sure at first how I would like this, until I turned it on. Call for Help was the show that was on and I was hooked form day 1. The Screen Savers , Call for Help and Cyber...

Pros: EVERY LITTLE THING, LEO is the BEST
Cons: more channels are not like ZDTV

ZDTV, is a television channel all about computers and the internet. There are about 8 specific programs that inform you about all aspects of growing technology. Some of the shows include....

1) Call for help: here tv viewers call in there...

Pros: Good source to find the latest news on technology
Cons: I don't like some shows

I first got ZDTV last year as a sneak preview channel for 2 weeks. I thought it was a good channel becuase its the only channel that talks about technology. From computers to electronics to video games, its was all there. Then, I lost ZDTV for a while....
