History

The show was originally known as "DigitalLife TV," and was shortened to DL.TV in late 2005, possibly to avoid confusion between the show and Ziff Davis' annual technology expo show, also called [http://www.digitallife.com/ "DigitalLife"] .

The show aired its 100th episode on October 3, 2006. And a new intro sequence was introduced in episode #121.

On Episode 188, which aired on August 2, 2007, co-host Patrick Norton announced he was leaving the show and would be replaced by Roger Chang.

The show was originally broadcast only on Tuesdays but starting on November 10, 2005, the show was also broadcast on Thursdays. Then on August 7, 2007, Roger Chang announced that they had made the decision to broadcast only once a week, in order to have more time to work on stories and introduce new elements to the show [ [http://dl.tv/2007/08/episode_189_apple_announces_ne_1.php Show Change] ] . The show has also gone through multiple changes in broadcast times over its run.
