Appreciate they have a website which requires membership, and theirs is good value compared to some.
But the webstreams should be separate from the members area.
They don't charge £10 a month to watch tv, and haven't significantly reduced the quality of the tv picture for those who don't pay, so how can they justify doing it to the webstreams?
Calls cost £2 per minute whether a member or not and that charge should cover the cost of the stream, the same as it covers the cost of the tv channel.
It is unfair for them to charge webviewers £2 per minute and £10 per month.

Someone said that its a business, which it is, but it's also a rip off and imo shortsighted.
There are a finite number of sky viewers and the numbers pale in comparison to the potential for web viewing, and like it or not, the web is the future of babeshows.
At a time when offcom are flexing some muscle, costs are rising, the division between hc/sc and shows/camsites are blurring, and competition is increasing, I would have thought they should be investing in their web custom and not alienating. Instead they have followed Elite and imposed a severe limit on themselves which will restrict their potential market and discourage new viewers.

Its a shame - what they did with the site and the pic quality was excellent, and I've found myself watching rlc far more often in the last few weeks than ever before - it had almost become the site I checked first...

But I'm an occasional viewer and even more occasional caller - for me, depends on the girls and rlc don't have many 'nice' girls imo (sorry, not into excessive artwork & over inflation). But with this change, they've just turned an occasional viewer into an ex viewer because the quality is dire. There's no point even checking out who's on anymore as the stream just isn't watchable. And there's a lot of choice available on the web.

So conclude that if I'm part of the market they want to catch, the changes to the stream have had the opposite effect. I'm gone.

By the way are the webstreams working in the members area??
