Here in Indianapolis we had a funky converter box and all we got was HBO.
For about two years.  Then a form of cable came in and we got some more
channels.

  Are you sure you're not thinking of old-fashioned satellite TV?  Not
the modern mini-dish stuff; I'm talking about the giant C-band dishes.
 They're used by TV networks to distribute their programming from
central studios to local broadcast points and cable head-ends.  The
occasional home AV snob would have a receiver.  The programming was
all transmitted in the clear so there was nothing stopping people
other than the (usually significant) expense of the equipment.

  The always-reliable Wikipedia </irony> says that HBO began as one of
the first pay TV services using underground cable in Manhattan, and
Manhattan only.  It later added satellite distribution.
