It reminds me a little of some the programming from TechTV/ZDTV in the good ol' days. David Pogue is the host. He's no Kate & Leo or Sumi Das, but overall the show's not bad...plus its in HD.

A few weeks ago without notice from TiVo or bright house the discovery hd channel on my tv went black and hasn't returned. Not sure what is wrong but if it ever comes back this sounds like a show I'd watch.

I liked it, also. I watched it on the non-HD Discovery channel, and it was cancelled, they didn't even air all the episodes as I recall.

I've been watching it. I like the way he explains stuff that anyone can understand. It's kind of like the "dummies" books for TV. I'm pretty tech saavy, but even I picked up a couple of things.

I like these shows.... I've been watching all of them and enjoy them..... the camcorder episode got me interested in doing something more with my own home videos!

If you like these, you should check the weekly short videos that he does in conjunction with his New York Times writing. They are available in several formats:
1) From the New York Times Webpages (http://http://www.nytimes.com/video/davidpogue)
2) As video podcasts from iTunes (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=210818527)
3) As Tivocasts (in the New York Times section)
2 that he did recently on the iPhone, 'The iPhone Challenge: Keep It Quiet' and 'IPhone: The Musical' are hilarious.. He also wrote up a 'Making of' story for the music video (http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/behind-the-scenes-of-iphone-the-musical/).

I recently created a SP for these as well. I like his fun style while still imparting good information. Definately worth a look.

BTW, I wish they'd break up the NYT Tivocasts so I could subscribe to just the ones I want -- I'd pick up "Circuits" and "Movie Minutes", but not "Vows".
