I'm trying to help a friend locate videos of the channel basically for
nostalgia reasons. Does anyone have any videos featuring promos, movies
or anything at all from this channel?

I believe they ceased broadcasting in 1990 or 1991 due to legal action
that forced them out of business.

If you can help, please reply or email me.

Thanks,
JW

Maybe not related, but years ago, one of those XXX programmers was
selling their program into at least one southern state, and this act
was against their "morality" law.

Never did follow the lawsuit, or the outcome...

I too am looking for any and all very early Ron Jeremy fair, especially one where he plays an adult video store clerk that goes in search of a dildo a customer bought that he was not supposed to sell. I would buy the movie if I had the title.

Indicting Exxxtasy: How The Feds Shut Down A Hardcore Porn Channel
Matt | July 28, 2014
...
...
But a quarter of a century ago, porn wasn’t as easy to come by. In the
mid-1980s, very few homes had a personal computer and access to the
then-largely text-based Internet. To get your hands on pornography
took effort: One would have to get in their car, drive down to a video
rental store or adult shop, grab a tape off the shelf, have an awkward
exchange with the cashier, drive home, rewind the tape and then hit
play.
...
...
Shortly after American Exxxtasy and others began operating,
anti-pornography groups worried that adult films would pollute
television and successfully lobbied Congress to pass a law in 1988
banning the transmission of "obscene material" on cable and satellite.
As it was written, the law not only targeted in-the-clear channels on
cable and satellite, but also "subscription services," making American
Exxxtasy an illicit broadcast.

It wouldn’t take long before feds used the new law to yank American
Exxxtasy off satellite forever.
...
...

In 1990, federal prosecutor Jimmy Evans of Montgomery County, Ala.,
used the new law to indict Home Dish Satellite after an investigation
revealed teenagers had been taping the unencrypted "teaser" films off
the channel, then passing around copies of the movies to classmates at
school.

The Department of Justice charged Home Dish Only Satellite with
profiting off smut in clear violation of the law. To back their
argument, prosecutors cited American Exxxtasy’s 15-minute broadcast of
a film called "Hardcore Girlfriends," a movie with "nothing but the
graphic portrayal of sex acts without any kind of dialogue or story
line."

Later, Home Dish Only Satellite would offer customers a four-month
subscription to the Tuxxxedo Channel, a similar service that ran
softcore, edited adult films. Both channels would cease broadcasting
when the founder of Home Dish Satellite settled with the Department of
Justice on the obscenity case — as part of the settlement, Home Dish
Only founders Paul Klein and Jeffrey Younger agreed to plead guilty to
obscenity charges, , stop all satellite transmissions and turn over
their adult film library to the government (it’s not clear what the
government did with the films).

Hi,

I'm the original author of this thread like 9 years ago. I have located some content from this channel, but I'm still looking for more. Back when I started this thread, Usenet was a little easier to navigate, and email addresses easier to decipher. I'm having trouble getting in touch with the posters who kindly responded and said they had tapes of American Exxxtasy content. Could you please get in touch with me? I'll leave my email address here. Hopefully it won't be censored.

Thanks!
