Watching My Neighbors Watch On-Demand TV

Posted by kdawson on from the video-voyeurs dept.

Josh Levin, Slate Magazine writes "I have a magical box that allows me to watch other people watch TV — their movies, their sports, their cartoons, and their hour-long procedural dramas. And sometimes, usually around 11:30 on Friday nights, their soft-core pornography... I solved the mystery by consulting online message boards. At techie sites like AVS Forum, other voyeurs described their adventures in freeloading. I was intercepting video-on-demand channels through the power of my Samsung's QAM tuner."

    This reminds me of a certain unnamed hotel I stayed at many years ago. Their TV receiption kind of stunk however if you asked at the lobby they would put in a VHS tape that you (OR ANYONE ELSE IN THE HOTEL) could pick up in your room by turning to one of several preset channels.

    I don't need to go any further into the only thing that was ever broadcast on those channels.

    *ahh damnit he finished before I could finish*
    Total play time 6 minutes.

    Dont you think it is kind of weird that you are watching the same exact thing that your neighbor next door is jacking off to. Why dont you guys just hold hands and have a circle jerkoff.
