Anyone remember these old Cable boxes with a Wired Remote & knob

[ARC Tech-109]

Plenty of weirdness in those days with everyone trying to one-up the other in designs. Back in those days we had both cable and this Zenith SSAVI based addressable over-the-air subscription service called Spectrum that lasted a few years but as I understand the pirates got the best of them and the channel (UHF-23) became a broadcast. The cities also had this microwave TVRO that broadcast HBO and a something else I can't recall that went well into the 1990's but that too fizzled out.
