I refuse to pay for my upgraded digital package with Nick GAS in it, because TechTV is on another tier, which means for the set I'd have to drop something like $10 extra a month. I might when I get around to getting an HDTV receiver, which may be soon now that the local Seattle channels are finally coming around and getting their HiDef signals to Comcast for distrubution.

I had never even heard of NickGAS when I first got digital cable. When I saw the listings for double dare, get the picture, finders keepers, etc., I flipped and was pretty upset when it said I was not authorized to view this channel. But, like you, I didn't feel like paying another $10 a month to get it. But I did later, when I got the next package up to get HBO (at that time, since it was AT&T and I also had cable internet, it was only about $3 more a month -- Comcast said that I am now stuck in that package. If I wanted to change it, my rates would go back to the normal cost since they said they do not offer any discounts since I already have their internet. Comcast is terrible sometimes in service and price, but that's another topic altogether).
I think I watch NickGAS more than GSN now. Its a little frustrating since they don't have commercials that the shows usually aren't on time with the listings, but hey I can live with that. Besides, it can't get any better watching Pumping Gas (which shows 5 [or is it 6] shows in 2 hours with no commercials) that includes DD, FK, GTP and FIO.
