I've not had this problem but QIK does seem to make my TP very sluggish and hot, or maybe it's just the video camera. Half the time I'll have to do a soft reset because things become so bad that it's unusable.

I haven't tried livecast so I'll see how it compares. QIK has some nice functionality on the viewer side as well - in addition to inviting people to your QIK group in order to view your videos on QIK.com (or you can just make your open and provide an easy link), you can also provide access to a private stream through your Facebook profile if you have one.

The quality is generally pretty poor, I've found, but maybe this is a problem in my camera settings? Basically I find that the video is pretty laggy, so you get someone talking but the video is constantly trying to "catch up" to the audio...
