I thought they started censoring some (all?) of the low def Movie Central channels over this past year. I'm not sure about that.

What I am sure about though is the claim that Movie Central is the "ultimate" service of its kind is false. Out of the 2 such services in Canada, they're 2nd by a long shot.
