'''TechTV''' is a 24-hour cable television channel for students of [[Louisiana Tech University]] in [[Ruston, Louisiana]], featuring news and shows about Louisiana Tech affairs and events. Originally titled "ResTV" at conception, the information-based channel started off as simply a public access type channel for university students. Today, it stands alone as the University's most watched channel from an entire lineup of the standard cable package. The channel is provided by [[Suddenlink Communications]].

A few of the personalities and hosts that were featured on TechTVtv programming include Cody Bryant, Kyle Sweeney, Chase Guy, Ella Guy Sharpton, Christie Pitre, Jarrod Richey, William Seale, Chris Lyon, Luke Lee, and Kellen McKinney. Other students and volunteers are involved regularly on the channel whether by participating in the shows or submitting pictures.

==History==
Samuel Speed started ResTV in 2000 and quickly became known as TechTVtv by overwhelming popularity. The channel has grown considerably and now features hollywood films as sanctioned by ResCinema distribution company for universities nationwide.

However, the university's channel shared the TechTVtv name with a major national channel dedicated to technology, though TechTVtv was absorbed by [[G4]] and no longer exists. Some fans of tTechTVtv (US) are not happy that the TechTVtv name is being used, hoping that the late TechTVtv image and name can finally be put to rest.

==Services==
TechTVtv covers many school events such as speeches, concerts and student organizations at the request of the event coordinator. Any student organization wishing to have an event covered need only to call the Housing office and ask for TechTVtv. Each event is handled differently and prices, number of cameras, and length of coverage are all based on information received from the event coordinator and are only limited to one's imagination.
