We've had DirecTV about a year now, and last night was the first time I actually came across the Flix channel.

I was lying in bed, nursing a headache, mindlessly flipping through the channels, and I stumbled on Return of the Living Dead - one of my all time favorite flicks. Not knowing what channel I was on, I figured I'd watch until I saw the first bad edit, and low and behold I see nude Linnea Quigley and all the expletives in their original glory.

I tried searching for a website to find upcoming programming, but no luck. Likewise with the DirecTV site, which doesn't list any longterm programming.

Who is the parent company for this channel, and do they always play unedited movies?

Flix is part of the Shotime family of channels. You can find it listed on the showtime website.
