I was going through my DVD collection and found 3 DVD-R's marked "TSS." Immediately, I got excited and popped them in and man, they're still good. Especially three years after the launch of Diggnation.

Turns out that shortly after G4 revamped TSS into what is now Attack of the Show, I preserved every episode I had of The Screen Savers on my TiVo onto DVD's and completely forgot about them.

So the question now is what do I do with them? I was thinking about tossing them on YouTube but I really don't want to have to segment them into 10 minute pieces, especially if G4 pulls the legal junk and has them taken down. Then it was all for nothing. I do however want to share these with the Diggnation viewers who missed out on the original Kevin Rose/Alex Albrecht experience so if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to let me know.

I once uploaded like 12 hours of Chris Pirillo's Call-For-Help Athon and a few TSS episodes, I had to cut each thing down in 10 min segments with movie maker but it wasn't really hard. My account got banned though by Jagex LTD. and FOX and I didn't even infringe on any rights. So far I had 3 Youtube accounts banned (hint: Forward your Youtube email sign-up address to a Gmail filter called 'Youtube'). But I heard that G4 doesn't own the rights to TechTV media, and I believe it or zdtvfan (http://youtube.com/results?search_query=zdtvfan&search_type=) would be gone.

If you change your account to director they can be unlimited size. Look at zdtvfan's Youtube account (http://youtube.com/user/zdtvfan) for example.

Also, you can download Google's Video Uploader for unlimited, or use a diff site such as Veoh.

Here is a Google Search you can use to find the TechTV bulk: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=gYf&q=techtv+bulk+torrent&btnG=Search&meta=

Veoh and Blip.TV would be a nice home for them.

Just do not tag the videos with TECH or G4 stuff. Just tag them with TECH stuff. I had G4 close my account zoomtehctv on G4. I upload a halo clip from G4 still up. But nothing in the tittle or tags have any G4 stuff.

Hm normally you get warnings to take down Youtube clips. I didn't cause I used a fake email. You don't have to close your account just remove the video.

Just search TechTV Bulk Torrent in Google. I has like 41GB of Techtv stuff, a lot of TSS and Unscrewed, but there is a little bit of everything, Mostly later stuff though.

The bulk TechTV torrent has a web site (http://www.slapapple.com/techtv/), apparently. I'll be checking it out after some other stuff gets done in uTorrent.

Thanks a ton, Will. I'm watching the first part right now. One thing you might do is put the links to the other parts in each of the videos descriptions though, so people who didn't find the show through these forums know its in several parts.

You didn't do anything wrong, per se, but you used a 4chan meme, and I'm not a fan. They are already overrunning digg, I don't want them here too.

Which is about as annoying as those little dorks that still think leetspeak is still cool.

Done. Also, I'm currently uploading the rest of the episodes from that week. I'll have the links for those soon.

Everyone just go check out his channel (http://youtube.com/user/theGAME71135) and subscribe so every time you go to Youtube you can just see the clips in order when he releases them.

I think you might be taking his slang a bit too personally.

There's 5 links for the same ep in the related links. Wish you'd know that earlier I bet.

I just looked and in the related section, only his videos are listed.

PS Please everyone, enough four chan talk.

funny to think that a lot of idiots hated on alex for being so damn funny and yet here many of them are now watching shows with alex being the glue that pulls them together. I always felt alex was more like "us" than kevin and always liked him.

I agree totally, Alex has stated multiple times how much the fans mean to the show and him, and on one occasion kevin even mocked him for it lol, no disrespect, kevin is still awesome but Alex is my fav for sure.

I was downloading that bulk torrent last year, but thank to limited hard drive space, I couldn't get the rest. Although I was able to get clips of Megan and plenty of high pitched chris pirillo goodness, it's since been deleted. a few weeks back when I was in need of a TTV fix I went looking for it again, only to find out it's been removed from the internets completely it would seem.

although as previously mentioned, the zdtvfan or techtvfan, whichever it is, is a good resource for classic material. i've been pulling that stuff off of youtube like mad and converting it to divx for future use on the xbox, when i'm not watching TRS and DN...and lost.
