Discovery Network's Science Channel will be airing a one-hour show on combat robots at RoboGames, hosted by Grant Imahara of Mythbusters. Show airs May 30th, 9pm Eastern time, US (2am, June 1st UK time.) Not sure if you guys can get it via satellite.

Yeah hope it will draw many viewers, would be a good boost. Would be nice if we could get some links to the forum in the credits after the show or something for PR

SKY chanel 524

Forgive me for asking this but how do you know it'll broadcast in the UK?
If it is on in the USA at the 1st of june - it would not appear on any schedules yet!
Kudos though, that would be the right channel.

Re: A return to television

Robogames is not listed on Discovery Science [which is chan 524, as above] on May 30, 31 or June 1. So assuming we get it, we will be getting it later than the Americans.

Yea, yea. I know...

Re: A return to television

Sadly no sign of it on the UK Discovery site around those dates under any name. Guess we are going to have to wait for a while.

Nothing like High-Speed cameras and post production SFX to make Robots even cooler!!

I'm sure these shows will end up on the internet somewhere so us brits can watch them. Post links here people!

Re: A return to television

I have a feeling someone will be kind enough to stream it on the internet.
I'm hoping for that, at least.

Re: A return to television

I'm only ten minutes into watching it, it's awesome! Got a great mix between the battling and seeing the people behind the sport without any of the annoying theatrics that plagued other tv shows.
