Had a surreal experience involving this movie

I once got stuck in a rundown motel in the middle of nowhere in the middle of Canada. The tv in the motel room played one local station but also had two or three channels from a pirate sattelite hookup. Two of the channels were 24hour Christian programming from the Deep South of the US. The last channel was nothing but four videos of arts/culture related things - opera, classical music, ballet, and a movie - played repeatedly, every five minutes, 24/7. Due to insomnia and a broken tv knob the five minute loop ended up being the only thing on tv. I became fascinated by the movie clip - the climactic cliff scene of Black Narcissus - which I had never seen before. It was dark and strange and beautiful. But the morning came and I left the motel and I put the image out of my mind.

Five years later I'm watching TCM and Black Narcissus airs. It seems familiar but it's not until the cliff scene that the whole surreal middle-of-the-night memory of that strange motel room came back to me overwhelmingly.

Does anyone know what that channel was? Four short videos of ballet, opera, classical music, and Black Narcissus played in a five minute loop from the moment I checked in to the moment I checked out. It's probably something innocuous (some channel running broadcast filler while off the air) but this was during the age of LOST on tv and it reminded me of the repeating distress call and the neccessity of having to punch in a code every 108 seconds 24/7.
