Oohh I remember Dimension Cable here in AZ. They had such an ugly set top box with red LED numbering to display the channels. heh That was in the early 80's.

I remember one of the first pay-TV companies that tried to compete with HBO but only offered ONE channel - ON TV. (That was the name of the company.) We had that for, oh, about a year or so, then we canceled because it was getting to be way too pricey for one stupid movies-only channel.

The first cable company we ever subscribed to, Dynamic Cablevision, ceased to exist when it was bought out by MediaOne, which in turn was bought out by AT&T, and now we have Comcast.

That is awesome that you guys remembered those. I can't think of any at all and I have been racking my brain to try and remember at least one of them from the old days.

I remember in the summer of 83 I was traveling and stayed in a town that had a satellite for the local TV station, and they pulled in a channel or two like HBO and displayed it on the local TV system.

Something tells me that all the i's weren't dotted and the t's crossed on that deal back then.
