RE: Asian Babes - Chat, Caps, Vids
This is just another totally messed-up situation with AC: right now, AC is showing just fine on BS webstream while "Natt" takes a break, but if you try the AC webstream, you just get "Thai Chat could not be played right now." This is not a problem of poor transmission from Thailand; this is BS messing with AC's webspace.

It's never been Asian Connections' problem. They've effectively carried on doing what they always have: A couple of good spicy shows per week (If we're lucky!), a format that gives us "two for the price of one" even when there are only 8 presenters to do all the shifts (meaning they are almost always on every other day), and most importantly, there is always a girl in front of the camera.
This was all ruined when BC took Sky 945 off air. It changed when we had to go looking, or even worse, waiting, for AC to broadcast on TV. Like most of us on this forum, I'm not a great fan of babeshows being internet-only. Babestation itself doesn't limit it's service in this way, only hardcore channels resort to it, for more obvious reasons.
I think about the current state of Asian Connections, and have no idea how it's ever going to return to the format that we all know and love. It's clearly not making enough money to have it's own channel, and even if it was, BS would strangle their cut of the profits long before AC could expand it's service in it's own way. I suspect Thai attitudes also prevent them from breaking contract with ANYBODY, and this is why the current situation isn't improving.
A few good shows every now and then are no longer good enough to hide the disappointment and anger at seeing Asian Connections fading away from our TV screens.

Well you can blame BS for a lot but for this I am not so sure.
Now I may be wrong but previously when a BS webstream cut to AC you actually got the tv version of the pic ie complete with all graphics so BS were re-encoding that for web transmission.
The tv transmission is a totally different feed to the webstream which is why more often than not they are out of sync.
Thanks, DB! Actually, it was exactly the same as the regular webstream - no OSGs as on TV. This made me suspicious that the problem is not on the Thai end. The Thai models have certainly noticed the disruptions that started when BS intervened, so I'm quite wary of their intentions.

Lanky, thanks for this thoughtful post. I too worry about the future of this channel, which keeping in mind its myriad problems and endless frustrations, has entertained us well for so long. When it has been good, it has been VERY good (e.g., December 2015, this past July-August). BS intervention was a game-changer, and I worry that the ship has sailed on those good days when AC was unique and different from the London shows. I suppose the pervcam is here to stay, but the show itself has suffered, with girls multitasking and spending more time looking at computer screens than at the TV camera. I think there are noticeably fewer calls; as I've said before it is a shame that we're losing the thrill of speaking directly to a beautiful Thai girl in favour of negotiating via text to see body parts. I would hate to see AC become merely an expensive pay-per-view channel. AC was always hamstrung by not having a proper night show during the hours starting at 10 PM, and by its constant technical glitches, but taking it off 945 when the webstream is still anything but reliable (down now again), well that was just evil. How I wish there was just one talented managment/production/marketing person who actually WANTED AC to succeed. It would not be rocket science for one creative mind. BTW, I agree that a good spicy show once in a while is not cutting it anymore.

RE: Asian Babes - Chat, Caps, Vids
It's painful to watch this train wreck right now. AC is off Sky 945, and the webstream is 30 minutes delay, and going down several times in the first hour of today's show. Not many calls, very low-energy show. On the bright side, Nadia gave us a few lovely nipple flashes; unfortunately, Kitty, though quite a beauty, showed nothing at all.
