You can tell just from these old intros alone that life back then was so much more laid back.

Its mind rattling that there was a time where cable wasn't 24 hours

My God, so many cheesy colorful early 80's TV graphics. Evidently the best time to watch HBO was between movies smoking some pot.

Good old HBO back when it was still on G1-23. Kinda miss the old big huge C-Band dish

Damn,3 months before I came into exsistence.

@salchli So what network aired during the 15 hours that HBO was not on? Or was it just color bars/generic music, etc?

Oh how this makes my heart hurt!! The 80's: when phones had chords, computer screens were green, you needed a quarter to play a video game, and America was still America.
So, how many HBO's there were that time? One channel or what?

Does this mean that HBO still signed off on weeknights? Also, did HBO sign off on Sunday nights?

Yes. Their typical schedule was sign on at 3PM; sign off at 12AM. Yes, they did sign off on Sundays.

Correct, as of Sept 1981. By January 1982 HBO was 24 Hours.
