    In the US, it was probably called “Preview.” It was an over-the-air movie channel that needed a decoder box to view it.

    They usually broadcast from a UHF TV station that had made a deal with HBO or CineMax (often nicknamed “Skin-a-Max” because they tended to show pron after 11pm or so). It was basically cable TV without the cable.
