Question regarding DirecTV's 'The 101'
Does DirecTV air movies on The 101 uncensored and commercial-free now?
I'm hoping they do. I remember watching "Death Race 2000" a while ago and it was butchered with censorship & commercials.
I heard The 101 has gotten rid of commercials on many of their programs, but are they also uncensored/uncut?

I don't watch the 101 for anything other than Friday Night Lights, which is commercial free and a few of the episodes have been extended versions. I don't think they show any movies. They have shown free previews of Crash the series, Dexter and Californication.

The 101 Channel on DirecTV is a free channel available to all subscribers. Because the intention of the 101 is to be as "family friendly" as possible, programming is rarely uncut.
The free previews of Dexter and Californication have been altered to remove the strong language, strong violence, and nudity. They also did this with The Tudors, effectively changing the rating from TV-MA to TV-14 for these shows.
During October, they air cult classic Halloween films but again censored to remove strong language, strong violence, and nudity.
They also aired an MGM HD free preview that had specially produced versions of the films again without the harsh language, violence, or nudity.
The only times I can recall when they did not alter the content was when they had a Starz movies preview and South Park: Imaginationland. They restricted the Starz films to ratings of PG-13 or lower and Imaginationland only aired on the HD channel after 12:00am.
