As a big fan of G4 i was furious that directv would cut the channel off the air. i have been a fan of the hit shows x-play, attack of the show, ninja warrior, etc. and it makes me mad that they would take this channel away from us. gaming means alot to people of all ages. it not only brings family's closer it makes you meet new people around the world. to me they need to be MORE channels like g4 on directv and other networks because gaming is the future. X-play and attack of the show is just not stations it is the best gaming shows they are. it has alot of value and for them to take it away because they aren't getting enough ratings? that is a load of crap! if you won't more rating make the shows longer and put other gaming shows on the same channel. like gametrailers for instance. directv took verses away for months then finally put it back on how many more good shows are they going to take away from us? they took all the other foxs, cbs's, abc's and nbs's away from us and just give us the local ones. this is getting way out of hand and they need to get it back under control. now i am hoping alot of people will sign this petiton and we can stand up to directv and get our shows back! because as they always say the customer is ALWAYS right! thankyou all, Chris
