I find it ironic that last episode you talked about how to stream your show onto tivo and then this week there is no longer any show to stream. I am upset but also understand. Best of luck

Aw darn it. This was without question my absolute favorite tech program. Robert, I learned a ton from you and all the guests. Everyone at DL.TV has to be proud of all the graduates that went on to do great things. Thank you to all of you. I'll miss this program a ton. Robert, the best of luck to you in everything you do.

thats too bad. hope to see dl.tv someway again..

I am not a computer guru. Just an average home computer want to be geek and I must say I have enjoyed watching and learning from those at DL.TV. I also remember fondly the days of Tech TV. These kinds of programs have provided an important source of Tech news and information in a format that even the average "Joe" or average "Jane" could understand. My sincere hope is that this hiatus is temporary and not of a permanent nature. Please come back! We need you to help bring joy and happiness to a what sometimes can seem like a hopeless and desolate world. I'm waiting!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to miss your show. Hopefully, you'll have a chance come back stronger than ever. Good luck to each of you guys!

Too much grumpy geek and not enough carefree creative Robert Heron. It's a sign of the times. When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Be real, be sober.

I love the program and have learned so much from you and your guests over the years. I cannot stress what a wonderful and valuable resource dl.tv is and has been.

Best of luck!

Bummer. I'm gonna miss it. (Honestly, though, instead of a regularly scheduled show, I'd rather see a feed-based subscription that simply notifies us when there is a show, whenever that is--there's good stuff to report on, just not necessarily every week.)

Although I will miss dl.tv, I think that Robert can hop on over to Rev3 and work with Patrick again!

Systm would love him there..

What a bummer! Adam Curry - you suck.

I`ll miss your show Rob. Hope you come back at some point. Stay awesome.
Pd: This is the 2nd podcast that i used to watch and goes down in a month or so, the other was "second take" from tomsgames.com

Aw man this sucks I was truly hoping I would find today's show notes. I watched dltv ever since patrick was hosting the show and even when he left I still watched the show. When the show did not have a permanent host I feel the show took a shear dive down the tubes. With the current economic downturn I know this hurt the show a lot. I will miss watching robert on dltv and I hope someday dltv will air someday in the future. Thanks to robert, brooks, scott, loyd, and the rest of the dltv crew. Thank you guys for all of the great content you guys put together. You guys where awesome thanks for the memories.

I will sincerely miss the show. I hope the show returns soon. I look forward to it each week. Good luck.

this sucks. that is all.

Unsurprising but still disappointing. Hope you guys can make a triumphant return.

Screensavers and DL.TV ROCKed!! Thanks for the great shows.

i am only a 13 year old kid but i get most of the stuff u guys put on the show but am really going to miss u guys because i learned a lot from ur shows and i hope it returns. :( best of luck

Hey Adam Curry, did you kill DL.TV ?
zou niet tof zijn

Thanks to all of those who worked with dl.tv. I really hope Robert finds some other regular video podcast to host or co-host. I liked his rants about HDTV's and all that's related to it :-)

Once again thanks for all the shows and good luck in the future, the show will be missed!

/a fan from Europe.

too bad. Ever since Norten left the show hasn't been the same and I stopped watching it soon after he left. just wasn't the same. I kind of expected it with the hosts allways changing and all...

it's sad, I liked the show...

Looks like the Ziff Davis boat is sinking even further!

This is terrible news. I do not understand why the best shows online keep going away. Thank you Robert, for all you have done, and those who tried to keep it going. We obviously do not know all of what went on behind the scenes, but this is a sad day for the industry.

Thanks for the great show Robert and all the crew. As a regular viewer (never missed an episode!), I'm disappointed at this news and I genuinely wish you all the best for the future. I'll second the notion that Revision3 would be an obvious venue for your work Robert. I know they've had their cutbacks too but their image and attitude is more in line with what DLTV used to be before Mevio came along... and it would be great to see you back with Roger and Patrick on a weekly basis. I guarantee DLTV fans would go ap3sh!t for that!

Oh, No! This show and Cranky Geeks are my two favorite tech shows. I echo the sentiment of earlier posters and hope that the hiatus is only temporary. Viva la DL.TV!

You guys will indeed be missed.

I think Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader said it best (in Episode 3) when he he said "Nooooooooooo!!!" I love DL.TV & Cranky Geeks. It's bad enough that 1up's podcasts were killed off, but now DL.TV? Man... I know that the economy sucks right now, but still...

Just for the record, I love the show & been a viewer since Day One. Hell, I have every episode archived on my PS3's external HDD. I'll keep my fingers, toes, and anything else I can find crossed in hopes that the sow will come back. In short: To hell with MTV - I want my DL.TV! Take care Robert.

Will follow you wherever you go Robert. Hope to see you in something, on something soon.

bad luck guys, sorry to take you off my download list

This is a shame. You vidcast was THE reason I started downloading pod & vid casts. Why I started using TVersity to download your show and watch it on my HDTV. As I've said on the forum, I like your show more than Tekzilla and they have Veronica.

Thanks for the shows and hope to see you soon.

I know everyone involved with producing DL.TV has to be sick in the stomach going out like this. I final goodbye episode would have made it feel better and helped the fans feel a bit better about the regular show cancellation.

DL.TV has been a great source of entertainment, and still could be. Content is the key; new product reviews, trade show floor fun and lively banter will draw the unique viewers needed to sustain adverts.

Come on Curry, don't be a reptile, fire one up and get this show rock'en again!

I'm not surprised but I hate to see it go. I think Robert is going to be on Systm next week with Patrick.

I agree with Ryan. It's not a surprise but sure the heck is disappointing. Your post says "too few bodies left to put out a consistent and quality show", but I don't care if it's just you in front of webcam sitting on your lounge. I watch for the information and the education, not the quality. Give it a try and see how it rates.

Watching this show has been a weekly ritual for a long time. I will miss Robert and (most) of the co-hosts deeply. I was hoping the show could find itself after the Mevio takeover, but I probably wasn't alone in seeing the writing on the wall shortly thereafter.

And wouldn't you know it, I was finally ready to send in some tech pics to get my 15 minutes of fame! Ah well, maybe it'll be resurrected at some point, in some way.

All the best to you Robert. Maybe there's a new show in your future. I'll be watching if it comes on the interwebs :)

In the mean time, let's keep folding! That number 5 spot is within spitting distance, and I bet we get close to if not crack 3rd spot this year.

I hope I can still order a DL.TV t-shirt. I learned a lot of useful things from this show and will miss it.

Robert get on a show at revision3, everyone should look out for him there definitely.

RIP. It is a sad day. DL.TV was the first video podcast I started watching. It always had a glorious amateur feel to it, but Roger Chang and Patrick Norton moved over to Revision 3 and it lost its way a bit. The problem with Tekzilla is that it looks too good and professional. I guess that is why the sponsors like it.

Great show! I'll miss this.

I also hope this hiatus is not a permanent one. dl.tv is a brilliant show, one which I've been watching the past few years. It's really kept me in the know about all the various tech that's both on the horizon and in the shops.

Best of luck to everyone involved with the show and hopefully this won't be the last we hear of dl.tv

Also disappointed although I agree that the last episodes were really reaching rock bottom

Too Bad, I love the show. Frankly, I am surprised it hasn't happened sooner. You guys seem to like doing the show, so I expect we will see you at Revision3. Talented people never go away, they just drop off every now and then.

Rob, we really hope to see you at Revision3!!

NO say it not so. I stop by here on Fridays to check you guys out.

This is the worst news I have ever heard!
Everyone keep folding for team DL.TV and lets get to the top of the table and keep the name alive!
Thanks to Robert and everyone for all the great shows that we have enjoyed over the past years!

Seriously?!? Wtf. that was an all of the sudden thing. thanks for no real reason as to why. you just said a typical reason, and you know darn well most of us know it was something else other than what you stated!

What took Mevio so long to kill this thing anyways?I thought for sure when John C.Dvorak became a big shot at Mevio he would have killed it then.Oh well,the deed is done,Farewell all!!

if this was told to the people not not in this wham bam thank you and then no more, this show might have been saved, for us, the people who enjoyed it.

What a bummer is all I can say...I really liked the show a lot and downloaded it everyweek to watch it on my HTPC-PCTV-TVPC I built.

Mr. Heron...you have undenialable class and your viewers will miss that the most I think.

Best wishes digital friend!

Eric

This was one of my favorite shows! It was about everything I enjoy. Sad to see it go. Hope to see Robert on some Revision3 segments. I was looking forward to the show, Wondering what Robert thought about Pioneer killing off the production of their Plasma sets, Seeing as he said they had an amazing picture quality. All the best to all involved.

Thanks guys for many great shows. Hoping to see your show again in some form or another, as my Saturday morning tech viewing, will not be the same otherwise. All the best in the future. - Tristan (Australia)

dl.tv and second-take going down within a few months. It's a bad time for web based tech shows. Lets hope that revision3 can survive the credit crunch. And also that cranky geeks will still be on.

I will sure miss dl.tv since I have watched it for a couple of years here in Sweden!

Best of luck, too bad it had to end like this. As a last episode/video, you should release a video explaining us fans what happened.
Hoping you and the rest of the guys show up on other episodes on revision3.

Still Folding Proteins!...

I will most certainly miss DL.TV podcasts I,I looked forward to them every week, but the way things have been going with the economy and cut backs im not to surprised. I wish the best to all of the dl.tv crew and perhaps one day hope that this decision might be reconsidered.

What a nasty surprise. I hope that this is just a temporary thing and that LD.TV will be back soon bigger and better.

In the meantime I will catch Robert on the Extremetech podcast.

heck of a job meivo

Thanks for years of great shows. You guys kept it interesting and varied every week for the fans. i KNOW those CES shows were a huge amount of work to pull off. So, while i'm sad the show is going away, just know the fans really appreciated the work.

thanks for the awsome show guys you will be missed hope to see you all bounce back with sometihng in the future

I will really miss your show Robert and crew. Hope to see you on the Cranky Geeks or one of the Rev3 shows in the near future. Thanks for all the info and entertainment. MyK

I have just a quick question for the people at dltv. Since the show is being put on hiatus and if the show does not come back will you guys keep the videos as a archive? There are so many episodes no one could ever download all of them and put them on a hard drive. I just would like to know if that would be possible or not.

I really miss the glory days of Patrick and Robert. The two of you made for a informative and entertaining program. I faithfully watched each show. But the show lost its direction and enthusiasm when Patrick and Jim left for Revision 3. Robert, I wish you the best. Maybe you, too, will one day join Revision 3 and we'll be able to enjoy your words of wisdom again.

This news saddens me greatly, as I have enjoyed the show over the years.

It saddens me even more to see so few fans' reactions to this big news. To have only a dozen comments posted in reaction (and even worse, three comments in the forum) speaks volume that most fans have left the show and do not care a bit of what's happened to it.

It is best that Robert moves to another venture and puts his great talent to better use than to babysit this shell of a show.

Well, I haven't commented here very much previously, but felt the need to comment. Over the past several months it seems that the show has slowly gone downhill. At first, it moved from twice-a-week to once-a-week. Then, each episode seemed to get shorter. I suppose that it was inevitable. Hopefully, it can be retooled and brought back someday. There is still plenty of great tech to talk about.

The world economy is so bad, I'm not sure if any of us will survive it. So much for letting The Smartest Guys In The Room run the markets with no oversight.

Robert, you should at least start your own podcast. Your askew take on all things digital and otherwise would have an instant following.

First PC Mag goes full digital (BTW, I will not renew my subscription) and now DL.TV is silenced. Even though I understand that in these tough financial times, it's hard to stay profitable and survive, I can still state that I will sorely miss this show. Looks like I will focus on Revision 3 and hope that it is able to survive this severe recession. Robert & the team, you all did a great job!

Guys you impressed me with your video talents, ie. encodinging, script, and etc. Rev 3 is where it is @, and I'm glad you will all, hopefully, be there.
Anyhow just the ramblings of another viewer that saw 999999 copies of the "Danica Patrick" advert.

Well it looks like you guys have been credit crunched :( T'is a pity... we have nothing like the show over here in Ireland and it was always a pleasure to tune in.

I guess it is off to Revision 3 with me now.. If only you knew someone over there who could give you screen time Robert, if only....

This is such sad news, DL.TV was the first videocast I watched regularly. It went a bit wobbly when Pat left but Robert grew into the role as main host. I hope DL.TV returns at some point, but if it's gone for good then thank you for all the fun.

Like others who have posted before me, I will definitely miss DL.TV and do sincerely hope that it gets another chance in a more supportive environment. It was my personal favorite weekly tech show. Robert is a wise, engaging host and I will continue to listen to him on the wonderful Extreme Tech podcast. However, I do hope he is able to find work as a host or co-host on a another video tech show. Bottom line: many of my tech purchases over the past two years were based on the knowledge I gained from watching DL.TV. Best wishes to all connected with the show.

This is very very disappointing. I love this show more that all the rest. It seemed raw... and a little geekier that the other polished shows that are out there. Please come back.. I will be waiting for the day of your triumphant return. Best wishes Robert... I will continue to follow you.

Really really sorry to see a good thing go into hiatus (??). Hoping you guys can spring back soon. DL.TV was my favorite tech podcast.

Robert, thanks for the show, it will be missed! Good luck to you all.

Wow, I'm really going to miss this show. Robert was a great host and I hope he ends up on another show. This show gave great balanced reviews without any "attitude". A good mix of personalities and tech news. Hope it comes back again.

Any chance Robert will at least be able to get on to say good-bye? Would hate to see the show just fade away without at least a farewell

I want to echo the sentiment that I'll miss the show - but if you can't do it the right way this is the best for everyone concerned.

Fair winds and following seas.

Best Regards, Jim

Take the show to Kevin Rose you surely have enough following to maintain the should you want to actually do so.

Robert, I wish you future success. You should have your own HD/HD to computer type show. This would be something that is really needed and I am sure vendors would pony up the sponsorships. The tech community needs a good guy reviewing/critiquing/demonstrating proper setup, etc of the HD technologies. Keep us posted.

Well I knew it was coming, but still, a very sad day.
I hate it when good things end.

ROBERT>>GO TO REV3 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cant believe this show has now gone. Ive enjoyed every show and really appreciated Robert helping me choose my TV. Thanks again Robert. Fingers crossed it will either start up again or Robert could have his own YOUTUBE channel or maybe like in previous comments join SYSTM. Who knows. With any luck it will be back and if not I look forward to seeing it in the future. Good look Robert and the crew you will be missed.

One more thing, is 1up going the same way as there hasnt been a video podcast for a couple of months now!!!

Dazza (UK)

How about show notes for the last show at least? pyTivo especially...

I'll be checking back here once and awhile hoping against hope to see a new solid start to the DL.TV franchise!

Sorry to hear about this. I have never missed an episode. Robert needs to stay in the hosting business as he does a really good job of it and there
are not enough good ones out there as it is.
DL.TV will be missed...

Now what am I gonna listen to while doing homework? COME BACK ROB!

Really sad to see this happen. As many before me had said before. This was the show that got me into vidcasts. Hopefully It wont be to long. I will be subscribed to the RSS feed in hoping this show comes back.

Am I freaking seeing things now... the shut down is only temporary! That is excellent news! I hope you aren't just playing with my emotions now.. lol. I've been still checking the site everyday hoping you would have a change of heart! Long live DL.TV!

"DL.TV production is going on hiatus for a short time. We'll be back soon with a fresh new format and great new content. Stay tuned!"

the show's not yet dead!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"DL.TV production is going on hiatus for a short time. We'll be back soon with a fresh new format and great new content. Stay tuned!"

Ah, there is hope! Really exciting. Hopefully this is a fresh start.

Now that sounds way better
"DL.TV production is going on hiatus for a short time"
, don't know who to thank for it but I'm grateful.

In the meantime, wish all you guy's @ DL.TV the best.

greetz from The Netherlands

Sure am happy to hear that you might be back soon. I watched every week.

Hope to see you guys back soon, good luck!

No DL.TV or Extremetech podcasts last wek. Is it Armageddon?

Hope you are back soon Robert.

I'v ebeen streaming DL.TV on my Tivo since fall of last year, so this wasn't news to me.

I agree with the previous posters, it is indeed a sad sad day in the podcast and tech world! I do wish Robert and the crew the best of luck in the future; however, I would rather be in denial and convince myself that DL.TV will come back at some point :D lol

Martin: Lol, I bet that Robert in front of a webcam doing his own version of dl.tv would be hugely popular by the sheer number of dedicated fans!

John: I agree, at least keeping the video archive up would be a good idea.

This is sad news. The great on-air personalities are what kept this show alive. Hope to see Robert and some of the co-hosts somewhere... soon...

Missing the DL.TV show It was my regular download for Thrusday night. Now I'll have to keep watching www.Revision3.com/tekzilla Patrick & Veronica is on their. along with Chang.

I just found this out. I was without internet and power so log due to ice storms where I live that I had been out of the loop. This was my favorite Web show.

I used your Godaddy Code numerous times for a discount to show my support for the show. It seems like everything we love is being eroded by the economy. I hope the show can come back.

Robert you will always be my favorite host.

Is there really some hope here?

I see that our folding@home progress has really gone downhill which is a bummer because I finally got a computer that could help with the progress.
Team Russia will soon pass us!

I love the show, but this situation doesn't look good!

DL.TV is the best hope to see you guys back soon!!!

Somehow I dont know if I believe you will be back. But I enjoyed the show.

I really hope that DL.TV returns soon, it's one of the most entertaining and valuable tech shows available. It would be a real crime it if disappeared.
