Babestation does have some beautiful women though, which is nice, but I still think Elite gives better shows, especially 2-4-1's.
What I'm most bored with is the petty censorship. I've said this before, but I find the fact that we can see very explicit acts, but not a woman's natural body part to be sad. Having the women cover themselves, and watching as the camera men freak out when a slip happens is just plain silly. We are watching these shows for a reason, and they are after the watershed, and are for 18 and up, so how old do we have to be to see a body part? 18 isn't old enough to see a vagina? Umm, OK.
That's what gets old.
unless they go encrypted that will always be the way as kids can still get access to the late shows as they are now its easy even late night you are not allowed to do a ton of stuff unless you are ppv
I'd be fine with encryption, but many people don't want it, and Offcom doesn't seem to either.
Another thing, most kids will be in bed before and after the watershed, and those watching these channels will be doing so on purpose (Most parents who are worried about it will have a child proof lock on them anyway). Also, how much harm would a female body part cause a child who accidentally turned to the channel? IMO, no harm, as it's not something to be looked upon as being harmful, and these shows are done in a fun way, and not violent. IMO, Offcom really doesn't care if 1 in five million innocent little children happen to switch to the 900 hundred channels, and the only reason the censorship is present is so that Offcom can have some control and feel in power. Otherwise, all of the other more explicit stuff would be censored! I also think the reason we haven't had encryption for these channels, is because doing so would allow for a more explicit show, leaving Offcom with even less power. If that happened, then Offcom would probably try to impose a different set of rules in order to remain in charge. So, perhaps we might finally have full frontal nudity for once, but I could see Offcom deciding not to allow any more 2-4-1's. That's something they would do if we had encryption, I think. I am rambling on a bit.

RE: Is Anyone Else Getting Bored Of The Night Shows?
The deciding factor that makes the Babe Channels so dull for me is the constant showing of same old faces night after night, some girls are overused to the point of ridiculousness.
I realise these channels use the girls who bring the most money over those that dont - but from a simple viewers perspective it's just flat-out boring seeing the same girl on three or four times a week, when there are other girls who only get to make the odd appearance now and again.

RE: Is Anyone Else Getting Bored Of The Night Shows?
I've posted elsewhere about the merits of encryption & that providing "harder" programme content, on a par with the TVX/RedHot or Playboy encrypted soft porn,is what is needed to maintain the level of interest in these programmes.
If we assume that most viewers are watching the shows on TV, ie SKY, they presumably have a SKY account, encryption would be similar to having the BoxOffice option requiring a pin number to access the programme, but shouldn't necessarily mean you have to pay another fee to watch a particular programme, unless the programme provider sets it up so; last night for example,several of the TVX/Redhot programmes required Pin number to access their pre watershed, up to 9:00pm,freeview shows as EPG designation was 15 or 18.
Final crucial factor as far as the broadcasters are concerned is that although there may be a handful of whingers in this forum, maybe the vast majority of people watching the shows are happy with the content as it is.
