We had a 15ft C-Band dish in the back yard for years, everything except the porn channels was in-the-clear for the longest time. All the movie channels, back-haul feeds form the networks, weird stuff from all over. About 1993 it all started getting scrambled, by 1996 it was completely gone except for a few here and there. I didn't care, I had my own place by then and didn't worry about cable or television.
Around the same time I had a buddy who's Dad had a similar setup and paid for American XXX Ecstasy. He constantly recorded it and had something like 50+ tapes of porn.
That name is a blast from the past. Yay lo-res porn.
