</blockquote>As do I. My family originally had Cinemax, but after the late night movies started, they switched to HBO. They picked Cinemax because it was on 24 hours from launch. We never subbed to UHF scrambled movie networks. Luckily, we had cable early on.<br />
<br />
I remember when my local cable company had channel 96 as a shared channel between Court TV and Hot Choice PPV, in the late 90s. Every night at 10:00, court would be taken off for porn. I used to laugh at that one. When we tuned to it during the Court TV hours, we'd get a scrambled image from Hot Choice, then it would jump to Court. At night, the channel was replaced with a message saying to call and order. I was just like when I would switch to Showtime or The Movie Channel and get the scrambled image, then the channel would jump to a banner telling me that I didn't subscribe.<br />
<br />
And that was after we updated our cable system. We had Viewers Choice and Hot Choice 24 hours in the early 90s, but then they updated the system and ran out of channel space for the old analogue system. That was nearly close to when they updated to digital cable. At one point, subscribers to The Movie Channel needed to get a special smart box, because they moved it to channel 79, and the regular boxes couldn't receive 79. <br />
<br />
The also moved Viewers Choice to channel 95, but the reception came in snowy, so after complaints, they were forced to realign the numbers again to put Viewers Choice on a lower number without interference.</div>
