TWIT

stands for This Week in Tech and is a cool tech talk/news show on the internet.  It was started by Leo LaPorte (who started with the Atari 400).

The site also has a bunch of other interesting shows too.  It's also available on the Roku with its own channel as well as on Nowhere TV.  There's a few differences between the Roku channels with Nowhere TV still carrying some of the older shows but not some of the newer ones.  The Roku channels only carry about 10 of the most recent episodes of each show.  The web site has them all.

The (vast majority of the) shows are also available on youtube.  The shows used to all be on the twit channel, but now they all have their own youtube channel.

Here's a list of the shows (and whether they're on NowhereTV and/or the dedicated Roku channel)

So as you can see, the standalone channel has all of the active shows (except for Radio Leo which sort of shouldn't count since it's just the audio portion of his video shows).  In comparison, the Nowhere channel is missing of few of the recent shows while retaining a number of the retired shows.
