The HDTV section you are referring to is what iFriends call the "HD Showcase", right? (In other words, this: http://apps.ifriends.net/hdshowcase.wsa ) If so, every chathost that appears on that showcase has HDTV videoclips. We make HD videotapes and send them to iFriends for them to upload, so the only way chathosts can possibly appear there is if their HD tapes have been uploaded by iFriends. ALL the chathosts who appear there have HDTV. However, that showcase is SOLELY for video content, not still images. So, whether or not a chathost has high quality still images, s/he can will appear on the HDTV showcase if they have HDTV videoclips.

To date, iFriends cannot stream HD live, so chathosts cannot capture high quality still images when they are live. What we can do, however, is upload high quality still images which, if iFriends deem high enough quality, will be marked "HD" (it's just a small little icon under the image or the chathost's archive listing when in browse page). However, if a host has HD still images, s/he still won't appear in the HD showcase unless s/he does not have HD videoclips.

So, if you're looking for high quality still images, you don't have to limit yourself to surfing the HD showcase. When in browse mode, just see if they have that little icon showing under the "archives" link next to their names. The HD showcase is only reliable for HD videoclips. I hope I helped cleared up the confusion as to why some hosts on the showcase don't have high quality still images
Thanks so much, AsianTreat! That was very helpful. I was always confused by that. Because you know, I have browsed through hosts who weren't in the HD showcase and have randomly come across chat hosts with high quality images. I will definitely be expanding. Whenever I look for black chat hosts, their image are always aweful. Isn't that strange? I only have four black chat hosts on my site.

As for customers wanting HQ feeds, I agree, but a lot of surfers are just looking for a free chat room or at least cheap private chat. I prefer to think of sites like PrivateFeeds, Flirt4Free, One2One (and any others with very good quality feeds) as the equivalent of those that buy HDTVs - everyone would love to have one, but not everyone can afford it!

So in terms of promoting, I'd point cost-concious surfers to the low-cost/lower quality/free chat sites and the discriminating surfer to the high-quality feeds sites.
KevSH, yes I do realize LiveBucks is NOT the site! I just made the mistake of not calling it PrivateFeeds. I'm not sure what you mean, how can you send surfers to both kinds, the high-quality and the low-quality? I mean, you could have multiple links on your site, but I don't see how it would make any difference. You might send surfers to a low-quality who actually wanted high-quality and vice versa.
