Lab with Leo is great, and Leo Laporte is a legend, but this sort of programming has a fraught history - read up about TechTV. The future is online and Laporte himself through his TWIT network as well as others such as Revision3 are leading the way.

I'm a Foxtel subscriber but not for much longer. I only keep it for the news channels. Everything else I download these days (including Lab with Leo). The ABC needs to set up a 24 hour digital free to air news channel, then Foxtel will be dead to me.

Yet another Tech show disappears. Programmers don’t want people to be intelligent.

I’m highly disappointed. When I moved out to Mount Isa and jumped on the Austar wagon (as regular telly had next to nix) I discovered Call for Help and became a nightly viewer. I was sour enough that the time slot had been moved later in the night this year, but this has done it for me. Thanks for the note on the tracker John

I cant believe that they are cancelling the one show that has been made in the last 6 months. I'm so sick of Repeat-o-vison, I mean FOXTEL.

I swear if they can The Daily Show im going to be livid!!

Here I was thinking that maybe, just maybe they would show it in HD but they can it instead...

There is actually a bt tracker that was set up by the channel that produces it in canada (G4 i think?) where you can download the show. I don’t have the link handy but a quick google search will find it for you (if you can’t find it, try abbreviating “lab with leo” to “lwl”)
