Alright Dweezel first off what do you really know about advertising?
Second of all what do these images have to do with what you are advertising?
Third what does the average person who has never been to that site understand about it because of these ads?
I haven't been to the site until just now and still I have no clue what these people have to do with anything. Are you selling HD TV, selling internet HD TV streams or is it just gratuitous placement of sexually based content?
At this point it looks like some low budget version of bangbus and tells me nothing about the offering.
You are limited in what you can do? I tell you what you tell the photographer to take some pics that are actually relevant to what you are trying to promote instead of just pushing sex or unrelated images that tell you nothing.
Once you have that done find a way to tie in the program that these people are seen on. Maybe something like "Sarah from Cooking with Sarah shown mondays at 5pm" or something like that. This gives a point of reference to use as an indicator that the show has some substance.
Sad to say yes sex does sell, but this is the internet where there are also 5 million porn sites available for almost free, make your legitimate site stand out and away from that smut in some manner.

Thank you for the feedback. It is a free HD lifecast about four guys that quit their jobs, moved to s.america, and document their experiences. I am playing around with using RSS feeds to aggregate higher quality, unscripted shows. I was going to use their media for advertising but as many of ou said, it is eh quality and lacks a message.
So, I am now uploading the lower quality videos to vidder.com (also, google mariposa lifecast), adding comments as 'titles' for each section, and adding product placement links to my amazon associates store. My goal is to see how welli can distribute someone elses content (which is free to use) and taking feedback to creating my own content.
I use the basement as a testing ground to ensure that I make sense and see what content you like. I chose the basement because you give honest feedback and aren't overly tech focused like most of the blogosphere.
In addition, this is for 'fun' and i do it in my spare time. don't worry, i am not quiting my day job.

If the hotties are in the show. Good.
If they are not in the show and only used to get people's attention. Bad.
A lot of people will click a link with a hot chick on it, but if there isn't more hot chick content after that, then you just wasted some bandwidth. Don't do it unless the hotties are what the content is.
