DL.TV: Amaze Yourself?

DLTVDo you long for a decent show about computers and technology? Do you miss not having such a thing anymore on your TV, if you ever had it? Do you want to watch a show hosted by two tech-loving geeks that don’t look like tech-loving geeks? (One is married and the other is DATING!)

Well then peeps, DL.TV (formerly known as Digital Life TV) is just what the doctor ordered! This twice a week TV show streams live every Tues and Thurs (4pm Pacific time).

The shows, running anywhere from 30min to about an hour is hosted by Robert Heron and Patrick Norton. Both are well-respected and recognized tech enthusiasts / writers / lab rats with great pedigrees (I’ve seen their kennel records). Backed by the global tech conglomerate, Ziff Davis, this grass-roots show is humble, honest and human. The three H’s folks. Wow.

What can you expect out of an episode of DL.TV? Everything and anything you ever wanted to know about HDTV, $800 remotes that suck, portable media players (not just iPods folks), game reviews, browser plugins, free software and protecting your rights online. Learn what really bugs the show hosts as a topic that strikes near and dear to their hearts causes an entertainingly heartfelt rant/digression. (Robert Heron: digital TV is not all digital!) Rob and Pat are a good duo and they share the screen well.

Plus they’ve got backup thanks to being a part of Ziff Davis Media. Guests frequently include game/hardware reviewers from sister sites like 1up.com and ExtremeTech reviewing XBox 360s, digital cameras, upscaling DVD players and assorted other shiny gadgets. Jim Louderback, VP of Ziff Davis Media and formerly a television tech host himself, stops by from time to time to review products, encourage the staff and personally refuse Robert and Pat’s $50,000 requests for “office supplies.”

If you haven’t checked out DL.TV yet, you can do so live as it streams (4pm Pacific Tues & Thurs) or download the shows (available in many different audio and video formats) and watch them at your convenience. You can subscribe to their broadcasts via their website or iTunes among other ways.

And it’s not just about computers. It’s about living the Digital Life, baby… best of luck, guys!
