Babestation on Freeview channel 33

see what i said previously in that post

basically i took josh's 16:9 cap and cropped the sides to illustrate my example of how it looked, so you could see whay i was trying to say about the sides.

anyway they only just redid the graphics, they're not gonna do it again, and if anything the PP one is bigger in the sense its wider as it stretches to the left edge of the screen, whilst still leaving a 3G sized box on the right hand side. they won't use the text-less box one as its primetime for them and the box runs advertising.

Well well we are being short-changed again on Freeview then! WHY? I know the show is "NEW" to Freeview but I think its unfair that we get a very watered-down programme which Sky viewers also have to suffer as well. I think its a bit unfair as its not exactly early days now. I think Cellcast have got to raise the bar SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!. They've got the girls; Paige is a lovely girl very sexy tits out or not but apparently very frustrated till after the Freeview shutdown at 5.00am POOR GIRL. I feel very sorry for all the girls;its very tame compared even to Partyland; topless most of the time! I do hope Cellcast see the light soon;surely ofcon are n't still watching their every move! Mind you last night Jodie hinted that soon things might improve in response to a text about two girls one phone like it used to be! Hopefully sooner rather than later; oil and/or cream to follow!!!!!??? I did like the "Secretary" slot by Jodie and Toya though; very nice and a step in the right direction! Anyone know who is on tonight?

I've been thinking for a while now of doing a sort of tutorial on how to buy and install a Sky 'free-to-air' setup. I'm not aware of anybody's financial situation or living arrangements,obviously,I'm unemployed myself,but I'm sure there are many people out there who don't realise you can buy the kit needed on eBay for under £50 usually and then watch all the 900 free-to-air channels for nothing.I realise the issue is about showing the same content on different platforms but this is a quick way around it until Cellcast change things again!I know there were lots of members here outside the Freeview zone who were frustrated when PG started broadcasting stuff that was 'hotter' than Sky and also when 3amPP was Freeview only.If it's not being transmitted then you were stuffed no matter kit you bought but Sky is accessible to nearly everybody in the UK.
A little off topic but it might be relevant to those with only Freeview.

Dreamlander-just Googled and there are loads of great sites with easy satellite installation guides so I won't have to now

Thats intersting Dreamlander but I dont see why we should have to go to the expense and work just to receive the show which should be the same as Sky and which (according to several people on here) is much tamer than Party Girls was even in its early days. I still think that Cellcast should treat us all equally and up the game before its too late.The girls are great but the show needs to be much raunchier; its a shame Amanda isn't allowed to "be herself" on Freeview; the other girls I'm sure would be happy to follow her example and make more money for Cellcast.

PG is probably Cellcast's modern day limit for explicitness and will never be seen again in my opinion The government has already forced everybody,except pensioners,to invest in a Freeview box,recorder,enabled TV etc.so that we all don't end up watching white noise,Babestation's picture is already going that way .So maybe a few extra quid on a Sky system isn't all that much? You also get the Zone channels which show harder stuff at night than the 900 channels because it's 'essential' to the plot!

Dreamlander

yes I can see where you're going but...... I would'nt have time to watch the entire programme from 9.00pm until 5.30am with other things going on and a wife and family as well.But I just think that Cellcast should treat their Freeview viewers more equal than those who receive (and pay for) Sky. I remember Yvette on her blog saying that Babestation will be on Freeview from..... and that Party Girls was just a warm-up for the "new show"!!!. Funny how things change!!!!.....I still think that Cellcast are now able to "relax things a bit" as the show is not now "new" and surely they were given a similar licence to Party Girls. If not how did they get away with that then; I know it was a very short licence but thry certainly were raunchier than Babestation on Freeview has been so far. Why are n't babestation girls allowed to stay topless for as long as their Partyland girls and wear similar(very brief) panties or thongs? To me it seems very unfair on us and the girls who seem very frustrated like their fans/viewers. I do hope Cellcast adjust things soon so as to please everyone; Sky viewers, Freeview viewers and MOST IMPORTANTLY their gorgeous sexy girls.Without them there would be no show! I have a feeling this topic will run and run. Pehaps Cellcast would like to comment and up-date us on things! Perhaps not.

First, I endorse all Big Boobies' comments. There is no logical reason why Cellcast shouldn't transmit material on their three Freeview channels which simply mirrors their three Sky channels. I don't believe that Ofcom set different standards for different channels. Programme content is either acceptable or it is not. It can't be acceptable on one channel and not another and it can't become unacceptable simply because it comes from a tv mast instead of a satellite. Also it is absolutely ludicrous that a channel that commences transmission at midnight should be more restricted than one that starts at 9pm in the middle of peak family viewing time.

Second, I've already spent £300 on terrestrial digital which is quite capable of receiving the programmes if only the broadcasters would get their collective finger out. I don't see why I should have to shell out more of my readies to duplicate my facilities unnecessarily.

Third, I'm in the process of moving from a flat where planning regs prevented me from putting up a dish to a bungalow with a long line of very tall trees directly south of it. No chance of any sort of signal, I think.


P.S. What are Zone channels?

Zone Horror,Movies4men 1 and 2 have the most adult stuff on them.Zone Thriller sometimes,Zone Reality does what it says on the tin and so Does Zone Romantica unfortunately
I wish we knew the truth about who can show what and when on terrestrial and satellite then we would know if the broadcaster or regulator was to blame.I'm no fan of Cellcast's tactics but still think they are towing the line at the moment.
If there is any real light escaping from between the trees you should be OK with a Zone 2 dish.An 80cm offset dish like I have will find a signal through most obstructions although your Bungalow will start to look like Jodrell Bank! Astra 28.2 is quite a distance from due south.

Even if I was prepared to spend the dosh, which I'm not, I don't think there's much hope. I've just looked on Google Earth and it's worse than I thought. There are two lines of trees a little east of south, as near as I can tell at right angles to the line of sight to the satellites, with more trees in a semi-circular clump immediately behind them. They are about 25 yards from the bungalow. There are trees in my garden that would block the dish if I put it low, even assuming it would work at that level, and if I wanted it high it would have to go above the ridgeline, which is illegal and in any case wouldn't be tolerated by the neighbours. (Not an 80cm one, anyway.)

Sounds like you need a chainsaw lol! I've had Sky since Season 3 of The X-Files and consider it more important than my kidneys! Sad,I know,but once Rupert Murdoch is in your head he won't come out! My god Rachel Riley's looking gorgeous again today!.See it's an illness,that poltergeist girl had it easy!
