@dgendvil DTMF tones. They indeed are the same tones used when you dial a phone. They were used on cable during the 1970s-80s to signal when the cable was going to cut to local feed or vice-versa.

Love those DTMF tones at 0:16

HBO Graphics: Sign-on, Preview, Movie Intro, Promos, Sign-Off - from 1980!!by videoholiccollection384 views
I think the sign-on and the Gorp promo was from October 29, 1980 but looking at the program schedule, HBO led with Lawrence Of Arabia at 5:30 PM followed by Gorp. The schedule video before hand was previewing the next couple of days (Sunday November 2nd and Monday November 3rd). I think Rocky II was added later (it premiered on HBO the next month).

I was leaning towards October (I have the HBO guide for that and November) since the intro was cut into.
