That was probably Tele-First (maybe spelled Tele1st). It existed in Chicago for a short time as well. The idea was to record the scrambled movies on your VCR and watch them (with the descrambler box) at any time you wanted to. Sony made the boxes; I saw one on Ebay a number of years ago. It did not last long.
