This stuff inevitably happens. Funny thing is the evolution of methods...

Captain Midnight was sat-jacking.

Max Headroom was STL-jacking.

and I think this one was probably mux-jacking. Just guessing here, the cable operator probably gets the HD as an MPEG-2 stream delivered over fiber, runs it through a demux or cherry-picker, converts it to ASI video, runs it into a muxing digital QAM modulator, then down the cable it goes. All someone has to do is log into the QAM modulator and briefly remap the channels.

Anyways, just a guess.

Darn, I missed it.

They use a military acronym to describe it; snafu.

Does anyone remember back in the 60's when the guy forgot to turn off the transmitter at the end of the broadcast day at a TV station and put on a porno
to watch? It was on the air for about 3/4 of an hour before he discovered it was
going out over the air. Only after he shut it off did the station get a bunch of phone calls :lol:

Bob Newhart did a funny sketch of the incident on one of his comedy albums.
