Was Spice Channel a full porn dedicated one, or just a paid channel? C+ was just a monthly paid channel with a diverse TV schedule, not just porn. You got blockbuster movies years earlier than in the free TV channels. You could basically watch The Matrix just months after the release on the theaters.

It was 100% porn. HBO had blockbuster movies during the day and softcore porn at night.

So, not sure if you used to watch The Movie Channel, but Joe Bob Briggs has a show on Shudder.

Real American pirates pointed to the Canadian systems that had... less restrictive policies for PPV.
