What's up with the duplicated content between Tekzilla & DL.tv? I realize Robert's on the show this week and everybody watches both shows, but seriously. The exact same user question appeared on both shows this week. If I recall correctly Tekzilla shoots on Tuesday. Anyone happen to know what day DLtv shoots? Who's copying whom here? This isn't the first time it's happened and it's a bit annoying.

I forgot how good Robert and Patrick work together, I vote for Robert to be the permanent stand-in any time Veronica can't be there.

Roger is very knowlegable, but he's just not as interesting as Veronica, Dr Kiki, or even the Swedish Intern.

I thought they were just a bit stiff on DL.TV (haven't watched all those eps though), but the chemistry was better here, more like TSS days (insert 'nostalgia' emoticon here).

FYI: Geek Squad agents from Best Buy do go into the service menu of the t.v. to calibrate it every time. The Geek Squad agents that calibrate TV's are very well trained and isf certified (they are not the same agents you meet at the store to fix your computer after you have downloaded too much porn and can't log on). The Fire Dog calibration form Circuit City, isn't an isf calibration, is just calibration disk (huge difference).
If you care about your picture enough to have it calibrated be sure it is a isf certified tech that uses the service menu of your TV to calibrate it. Anyway just thought you guys might like to know.

dl.tv has show notes and I use the clickies, but I do not usually watch the video. I use to be addicted to nutrament, Then I just started eating right. Most of the energy drinks taste inhuman. Props for Veronica. Anybody who can woof down an energy drink has my vote

Speaking as a former Best Buy Services supervisor (with years of experience), training for any, and I do mean any Best Buy/Geek Squad employee, is terrible. Do not patronize this establishment!!! They are always one of the Consumerist's worst companies in the world! If you want to purchase a $75.00 HDMI cable then have fun at Best Buy!

Sounds like a job opportunity for a good tech.
