However, it would need to be accompanied by the withdrawal of all other interruptions that remove the phone girl from the screen and also all the black boxes and over-size OSGs that interfere with my view of the featured girl.

Reinstating the ads in back-to-back double doses as you have done has, of course, had exactly the opposite effect.

A long time ago I imposed an embargo on phoning the shows after I discovered how Freeviewers were being short-changed on the nature of the content compared with Sky while still being charged exactly the same price. (I've broken that resolution on only a very few occasions.) That discrepancy has been almost completely removed from the BS channels but still exists on Tameland (the Freeview imitation of Partyland) and now my objection is the fact that Cellcast doesn't deliver on its promise.

The deal that is offered is that in return for a charge of £1.50/min a caller can talk (or listen) to the girl on the screen. Every time that the girl is removed from the screen you are failing to honour that promise. If you think I'm going to start phoning the show again in the full knowledge that at any moment I might be charged anything up to £4.50 to watch an Xtreme advert or promo you need to have another very serious think.

When you remove the phone girl from the screen while there are still callers on the line you are, at best, in breach of contract or, at worst, defrauding your paying customers. Fraud is a criminal offence.

Even some of the Xtreme ads and live promos are fraudulent as they promise "hardcore porn", which is totally banned from UK tv. Ofcom is very keen on advertising offences and sooner or later someone is going to complain.

When I first started watching BS there were no ads except for picture promos, and they only appeared between, not during, the girls' sections but it nevertheless seemed to be a thriving business. All the current evidence suggests that Cellcast isn't receiving the desired amount of income and is adopting ever more desperate sledgehammer advertising in an effort to correct this. Does it really not occur to the dimwits in control that the advertising might be the CAUSE of any fall-off in revenue rather than the remedy for it?

What you are doing must inevitably be causing serious damage to the whole babe channel community. Ofcom's latest figures for digital tv take-up, especially when viewed in conjunction with the continuing progress of the digital switchover, shows that Freeview is now by a big margin the largest digital audience. As Cellcast has a virtual monopoly of the Freeview adult chat output (2½ hours of Bang Babes starting at 3:00am hardly counts), the vast majority of UK viewers who are aware of these channels will most probably think there're all like Babestation and not take any futher interest in them whatever platform they're on, resulting in their being permanently lost as potential customers.

PLEASE STOP THIS STUPID BEHAVIOUR NOW!!!

you're one of the most vocal/negative on this forum about Babestation, yet you've just said yourself you don't use the services.. it doesn't make sense

if you don't use the service, why keep watching and getting yourself worked up so much that you need to go and moan about it on a forum, which solely exists to discuss Babe Channels, something which Babestation started in this country in 2002. You must have better things to do in your life!

we are here to help people with problems (which we do), get feedback on the shows (constructive criticism is always taken on board, pointless rants not so much) and keep you informed of what is happening in the world of Babestation.

You don't know who from Babestation reads these forums, so how you come across on here also reflects on how your complaints are viewed. As we always say, if its constructive criticism and something is stopping you from using the services, which is the main goal for us and our customers, it will be deal with if at all possible.

You guys never seem to look at the bigger picture, and get too worked about something which the normal babestation viewer would not even notice.

We've given you the means to write a formal complaint via the PO Box number, feel free to send in a letter which will then be dealt with as a company

It is one of our associated channels, but unfortunately I don't know too much about it at the moment. Will post more info when I have it.

I'm sorry (I know this won't be popular)
but I can see Babestation's point here it is after all a tv station out to make money those of us who are viewers can add our opinions but in the end they are going to look at the bottom line if calls drop with more adverts they will surly reduce them but if they see more picture sales with no loss in calls they will continue as they are

If we don't like it there is always the remote control

Please read my post properly - I've said I no longer use the service, at least not on a regular basis, and told you why and what it would take to get me back.

As far as I'm concerned that's exactly what I'm doing by pointing out the negative impact of the current situation.

We are normal Babestation viewers. Besides, how could anyone fail to notice something which is blocking or interrupting their view of the on screen action?

They have no way of assessing that impact in the current constantly changing digital market. Just because calls aren’t dropping it doesn't mean there's no adverse effect – it could be that they would be increasing, or increasing at a faster rate, without the annoying adverts. See my comments in the 'Crap OSG' thread to avoid my having to repeat them here.

Not on Freeview, there are no alternatives, and Sky viewers don't get most of the Xtreme ad interruptions and obstructions anyway.

~~ledders69~~ · 15-10-2010 03:02

No offence, but does anyone agree with me that the rota should be refreshed somewhat. BS please give Dani a break.

Dont be too quick to rule out Bangbabes. The sky content is getting better by the night and FV has a treat tonight in the form of Dannii Harwood. No annoying voiceovers, no full/half screen ads, no excessive pics push either. Just a hot babe on screen, taking calls without the any black info boxes BS style. This is how it should be done

Yeah, I've got that on at the moment as a respite from BS. Two problems are (a) BB doesn't start until 3am and (b) I don't much rate any of their present line-up - other than Donna, of course.

as far as I know at the moment we will be utilising the FV channel ourselves
