Even back then, HBO was a non-entity over here - the equivalent was Sky Movies. To recognise HBO, you need to be attuned to American TV culture; either because you're a serious fan of shows that HBO produces (and thus are aware of fansites telling you that this is a HBO production), or because US cable TV was significant to you for other reasons (lived in the US, worked in the industry etc).
