Sexstation TV is a UK based site and apparently an adult premium show or channel in that country. Being here in "The States" I'm not at all familiar with the brand or availability and only can go on that they have info about the channels on the Sky Broadcasting Platform that these guys list on their welcome page. My guess is that fans of this program will know more about their style and have certain expectations. As a reviewer I'm coming in without any ideas about what they're about and will simply analyze what this paysite offers.
The Goods:
- Nice Pic & Video Collection, Sexy Models. While Sexstation is built around its shows the centerpiece of the content here is the picture gallery and video collection. There are hundreds of photo galleries and almost a hundred videos. These include sexy pro UK babes in a mix of solo glamour, hardcore boy/girl, girl/girl action, and groupsex.. The shoots include a mix of themes, styles, and settings that fit with what I expect from a professional production company. Mixed into the videos are things like interviews and diaries which works with the TV show concept as well.
- Professional Design w/ Model List. The site design is fairly straightforward with a header defining the different content sections like babes, party, photos, album, videos, and bonus. The photo and video sections have the entries listed chronologically and the babes page is a text model index. For the most part the design is pretty well done.
- Steady Pic/Vid Updates, Good Info. Based on the date-added information posted on the pictures and videos the pics update on a daily basis and the videos are more like 2-3 times per week on average. They have content dating back to late 2006 and although they haven't always been on a daily pace the growth has been consistent.
The Bads:
- Unusual Concept w/ Built-In Upsells. In-browser webcam type feeds are featured on the guest pages and in the member's area. These have pay-per-minute or pay-per-call type payment systems which aren't included with the basic monthly price. There are also banner ads for other paysites strewn through the member's section. I expected more of a diverse content collection with the inclusion of other types of content beyond pictures and videos for all members.
- Flash Only Vid Format, No Downloads. The videos are in Flash format which stream in-browser so there are no download options. While the files do buffer and play rather quickly the video quality is only average. My guess is that fans of the Sexstation TV show would like to have videos that they could save to their computer.
Conclusion:
As someone who isn't familiar with the Sexstation TV brand they haven't really offered any background information to bring me up to speed. Are there regular hosts or what kind of segments do the regularly feature? I couldn't find any "About Us" page and the FAQ section focuses on the site functionality. Anyways from my perspective Sexstation is a picture/video paysite with some bonus cam show material that's based on pay-per-view pricing and also per-minute phone numbers too.
