I have loved this idea since I first read about it in wired...so excited I hope it truly does fill that Tech TV void I have.
Right now it takes Revision3 DL.tv ,Twit.tv to help alot but still feel alot is missing.

The shows forum is intended for the discussion of Revision3 shows and pilots.
While the Undo.TV team are definately friends of Rev3, they are a seperate project.
Feel free to discuss them in this (the General Discussion) area.

Wow, this sounds really awesome, I'll have to check it out. Just one step closer to bringing back TechTv.(At least I hope.) I still think that Revision3 + DL.Tv + TWIT + Undo.Tv idea could create one AWESOME Network. But anyway, this is still really awesome.
Also, is it just me, or does anyone else REALLY miss TechTv around Christmas time with their holiday hit lists and stuff?

Are you living under a rock since getting your Mac??
UndoTV (http://www.undotv.com/undo_splash.php) is the collaboration between Leo Laporte and Chris Pirillo, attempting to bring together a number of TechTV/ZD alumni together for video netcasting.
It has been discussed on TWiT, as well as in Chris' Blog (http://chris.pirillo.com/2006/10/16/an-undotv-update/).
To be honest it sounds like a competitor to Revision3, but at this stage of the IPTV game, competition is good right? Especially if it is tech content, and aimed at the people who are early adopters.
It raises an interesting question though - are groups like Revision3, DL.tv, and UndoTV aiming to become the online equivalent of a TV network, or are they aiming to be a production house ...

All this stuff went down over the summer, I was far too busy going to the beach then listening to TWiT.:P
I read online that it was an IPTV network but it said on the site that people can upload content which is why I thought....um...Youtube?
Ps. IMO there will be no online equivalent to any TV network until it becomes just that...available on your TV. It sure makes the "iTV" more and more interesting doesn't it?

Well if that will be it then I hope UndoTV and Revision3 will be friends...um..duh.
But anyway congrats on the new site! I am still waiting for my Invitation...
And the Logo is ok..but I was thinking of the Undo symbol then in the middle of the circle is 5 circles that are combined, but they are just 4 of the connect symbols of Techtv, then UndoTv on the bottom.

A run down on what happened at the UndoTV party:
http://camkerr.vox.com/library/post/undotv-pikspot-preview-party.html
Im disappointed, I still fail to see how this is a TechTV replacement. This seems like yet another YouTube clone to me. Big disappointment as of now, what do you guys think?

^ don't know what pikspot is but Undo TV keeps getting confused that anyone can upload stuff like youtube which is not true..it is where Tech TV alum upload thier net/podcasts Audio/Video shows.
Also I think has a seperate digg like features.

All it is really is youtube but moderated better. They will also post all of Leos netcast there to. Also, looks like they have changed their name to PikSpot.com I dont see the point of that. I think Leo should just jump on Rev3 they already have setup a real nice thing.

Finally, I've been waiting for this site to launch! Now if only SpiralFrog would launch. (The ad driven legal free mp3 site) It's been saying it will launch for about 6 months now and it still hasn't.

Well I got my invite and it's pretty cool so far..like Youtube meets digg and moderated which I like so I might lean more towards undoTV than digg if it keeps that way and lives up to it's promise.
Digg is cool for news but the comments people make are too harsh on people.
