The All Adult Channel is a pay per view (or, if you prefer, video on demand) video site featuring thousands of movies from big name adult studios like Vivid, Hustler, and Red Light District. They have all the main genres covered, Asian, teen, lesbian, ethnic, etc, along with a few you may not expect, like cult and classic favorites. They don't stray too far from mainstream interests, but if you're just after some nice general hardcore flicks, All Adult Channel has a lot to see.
The Goods -
All Adult Channel has a huge collection of videos. Right now they've got over 1,500 movies available. Although I can't tell exactly how often updates come, I can tell you that according to our records in the last three months three hundred new titles have been added. Even though no update schedule is provided, I can tell you that this monster collection is still growing.
The videos look pretty sharp. They play at around 700k in a separate video window that pops up, but you can expand the movie to full-screen without losing much quality.
Speaking of handy options, they've got a few features that members will appreciate. In particular, I liked how you could set your own personal bookmark within a scene to mark your favorites. You can start and end it down to the second. This makes it easy to return to the scenes you like most. They also provide a good amount of information about the scenes, including a synopsis and clickable list of stars.
The Bads -
Pay per view sites are almost always more expensive than their regular monthly subscription charging counterparts. All Adult Channel is no exception. Packages start at $5 for 30 minutes (16 cents per minute) and go up to $45 for 600 minutes (7 cents per minute). That is certainly less than what many other ppv sites charge but it's still more than you'll pay on average at other video sites.
The viewing charge you pay only allows you to stream the movie. If you want to download the movie, you must purchase it individually at a rate of around $20. That also really hurts the value of the site.
Of course, the videos here are all non-exclusive. That's not necessarily a bad. Anyone coming to All Adult Channel certainly expects to find videos from all the big studios, that's one of the selling points, in fact. But it is worth mentioning that this content can be found on hundreds of other sites.
Conclusion -
As far as pay per view sites go, I enjoyed my time on All Adult Channel. It may be a tad more expensive than traditional sites, but if you're a selective viewer, this system may work to your advantage. Certainly the large collection of nice looking videos is worth a look. If you prefer specific fetishes, you may need to look elsewhere as All Adult caters to a more mainstream audience. If you like to see pretty girls in hardcore scenes, you may like what they have to offer.
