I have not checked out all of the shows yet on revision3; however, I am an avid DiggNation and CtrlAltChicken fan. Those are great shows for several reasons. DiggNation is amazing because it, for the most part, is all impromptu when it comes to its content, or body (this does not include short intro and sponsor review obviously). They prepare their information, but then it is all random and dirty from there. That is what makes it great. CtrlAltChicken is a good show mainly for the same reason, it is dirty and mixed up (for the most part, less than DiggNation though). Imperfection is ideal.
Now InDigital. It has its Pros and Cons like any show, but I do not think I would ever watch it again. Everything the hosts say sounds so unnatural coming out of their mouths. I love some of the stuff they review, but I would rather have it sound like a tech person explaining it to me as if it were person to person. A scripted sound does not give you that feeling, and you might as well spend your time watching the news. Anyone can dumb down the information presented for non-tech people to understand.
Well prepared hosts that are knowledgeable and know what they are talking about do not need to follow a script to keep people's interest, it becomes monotonous and boring very quickly. I am not trying to bash the hosts or whoever is running the show, just commenting on what turned me off from watching it.

I disagree. I think they are really good at presenting the items they show off. Maybe Hahn stutters a little when trying to get his point across, but it's minor and it really doesn't distract me from what he's trying to say.

No these are real pros and been doing it for man many years ..since the old TECH TV days...in fact this show carries more of the Tech TV spirit/Talent/Professionalism than any other show on Rev3.
IMO it's the best Show on Rev 3 and def the most well put together by people who know what they are doing and aiming for.
And they are always honest.

The only thing that disappoints me about Indigital is that Wil has been skipping doing it for a long time now.
Oh, and we still sometimes get low volume audio on segments.

What's up with this guy? He makes an account just to stop my and *****.
I'm not sure just what show he was watching, but it sure doesn't sound like "InDigital." None of his criticisms/observations ring true. The OP is so totally out-of-step with reality, I'm sure he never actually watched the show.
"InDigital" is easily the most professional looking and best presented program on Revision 3. The three presenters have more experience in front of a camera than nearly every other host. The three have as much on screen charm as anyone I've ever seen on internet-TV, over-the-air TV, cable-TV, public access-TV or anywhere else.
I just don't buy the OP.

yeah i think InDigital is a still a great show.
i started watching a fairly long time ago.
i stopped for diggnation, and now that im back to it and watching alot more here on revision3, indigital is still as good as it was before !!
i like some of the stuff they cover, but the way they present it is the best part.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Personally, InDigital hasn't reached the look I envisioned for cost/staff reasons. I never really wanted it to be hardcore tech...I feel like there's plenty of sources for that on the Web and anybody can spew specs that really don't mean anything to many people.
Do you want it more natural? The writing is supposed to be natural, but admittedly writing to read versus writing to speak are very different and that could use some work. Now if you're looking for a Diggnation style...well...perhaps that's in the future, but for now I prefer not to follow in the footsteps of Diggnation. We're different shows and I kind of like being different.

i actually like the format of InDigital. i think its a good show that even people who are not into gadgets will be able to watch it without getting bored.

Funny how the topic creator joined up made a *****ing post then never returns after he got feedback.

When it comes down to it, it is InDigital that brought me to Rev3 and these forums today. I like it.
In fact, I was able to let my dad watch and he enjoyed it.
I prefer that it doesn't change too much...if it I have ideas, I guess I'll try to remember to comment.
OK, well, as before, there were a few times the mic was turned down. (Where's the boom when you need it...oh wait, I know, it's breaking a bank somewhere.)

i love inDigital and it's current format. true, it is sad that some of the reviewers are no longer there or hardly on, i'm just glad that the show still goes on. don't know if any of you remember "Fresh Gear" from the TechTV days, but i enjoyed listening to reviews from real-life usage of tech gadgets from Chris Leary and Sumi Das. inDigital has that same feel to it.

I think Luphrid is just Haan Choi, looking for a little validation.
It's all great dude! we love you.
