One of the girls replied on the show, that they were having to follow new guidelines, but changes were being put in place next week. This would enable two different streams from the studio.
It looks like we'll get the tame feed on Sky. And the rest of Europe will get a harder version of the show.
I see a sinister plan in all this, who would bet against ETV wanting to buy Channel 945 or another one outright and try to charge us a subscription fee just to view what the rest of Europe already get FTA.
Or second option they have got plans in place to start up a second subscription channel which would then be able to deliver the type of shows they used to deliver in their glory days. Either way it's clear for all to see that the current set just isn't going to work as the girls in the studio seem to be looking very uncomfortable not being able to fulfil any of the requests.

Is this relevant to the UK show? Or is it just what happens in Europe?
I thought Europe were getting harder shows than we were, which they are going to reinstate, so I'm not sure what the issue is?
Looks like ETV have already pulled the plug on SKY as all we're getting is a duplicate of Babestation Blue on Channel 945
^Well it did start. You saw that 'illegal'? Web-site promo.
Graphics, well some of them, are still there. And now a blank video screen.
This must be the 'new' stream
Aaannnnnd we're back at the awkward school disco.

The issue for some people is that the shows aren't as good as they used to be. But in the UK they are going to be subject to Ofcom rules regardless, so it's not really an issue for us as we would never get their old shows anyway, even if they started doing them again.
The respond to the above.
Some years ago, the other forum was discussing the rationale if the channel started an encrypted service to bring back the shows of old. The reason why this would not work is quite simple and goes right back to the very start of Eurotic when it served as the promo for INXTC. INXTC was a subscription channel that had live-shows. But they still expected the subscriber to phone. Yet no one wants to pay twice. The channel would not survive on subscriptions alone which is why they used the internet to show during the day-time what they could not on the tv.
Now here is a problem. With these self-imposed restrictions in place they can not fulfil these wishes although the punter has paid for them. Will they reimburse them ? No chance. But they still expect that same punter to pay again with another request if those restrictions are no longer there.
This week could be quite interesting.
If this channel was a sick dog you would put it out of its' misery as an act of kindness. Looks like some 1980s rehash and not remotely sexy or entertaining.
^ But yet you watched it.
It's worth watching just to see how the girls fail to interact with each other.
It has to be said that no other channel made better use of balloons with smiley faces on them last night, than this one.
