Stream 2 with Levi on at the moment is fuzzy and just downright awful

I have tried umpteen times today to view stream 2, but nothing.

Far more important where are the 902 streams from RLC and Glamworship websites-they are blank since Friday-guessing its a playboy issue if so any chance of telling anyone

For those of ya who can't get stream 2 try clicking the ALL link
Stream 2 seems to work then, just be sure to turn down your speakers

Stream 2 definitely needs an overhaul because it looks downright awful

Discontented with most of what freeview offers these days, I decided to give RLC a try and joined so I could view the members only streams. Quite impressed with the channels actually, better than I expected. Probably now a fanboy of a half a dozen ladies I hadn't heard of last month. 
Back on topic though - the streams. They're good, but as the main feature of a £10/mo site I still feel they could be a bit better. Especially with 2 networks offering comparable streams for free.
There are 2 issues at the moment for me. The first is that the bitrate isn't there to handle a lot of movement, especially during night shows on the more complex (and therefore harder to encode) sets. Playing the stream full screen magnifies the problem.
Which brings me to my second issue. I like to watch the stream full screen and sit back from the monitor, especially when calling up. Aside from the bitrate, the resolution (to me) isn't there to give the viewing experience I'd like.
What I'd love to see is the res go from 646 x 358 to 720 x 400, and the video bitrate go from 650kbps to 800kbps. This would go a long way to fixing the current weaknesses of the streams. I think you could also cancel out some of the bandwidth increase by lowering the audio bitrate. 80kbps isn't needed with most folk either having sound muted or listening on cheap pc speakers. 32kbps would do fine imo.
