DishDude nailed the Pay TV knob, I read it in the manual long ago.

Man those crazy RF chains full of splitters and switches we used to wrig up could be nuts.

I used a VCR similar to this when I was a kid and with it I discovered that (at least for my CATV near Memphis TN)
I could run my cable box to the VCR with RF
and the VCR to another via composite video(probably could have skipped this with a better tv),
tune the box to HBO,
cut the composite video cable,
switch the polarity,
and I had HBO!
we had only 3 premium channels HBO, Cinemax and Disney and we didn't pay for any. The only reason for the box was my 70's model Quasar.
