SuperTV

Growing up we had Super TV :


Super TV expanded into the Baltimore area in July 1982 on channel 54 WNUV. Unlike other pay TV channels, Super TV only broadcast from 7:00 pm to 1:00 am Monday-Friday and 3:00 pm to 1:00 am weekends throughout its entire run and never went 24-hour.
Subscribers received a 12 inch by 12 inch brown decoder box and a dedicated UHF antenna which was installed on the roof or on a balcony and aimed at the station's transmitter. When attached to a television, the box would filter in the Super TV movie channel. In the evening, subscribers could view a host of movies that were scheduled to play at that time.
