Baby monitors and wireless video devices all use the same limited set of frequencies. It is extremly likely that a neighbor of this family probably has a C band satellite receiver to get NASA TV (since most US cable companies don't want to carry this free channel). He then is probably using the wireless video link to send the NASA TV to his TV in another room of his house. The family should be lucky he wasn't watching porn.]]>Jun 15th 2007 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/15/when-good-toys-go-bad-vi-baby-monitor-swipes-nasa-shuttle-feed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/15/when-good-toys-go-bad-vi-baby-monitor-swipes-nasa-shuttle-feed/
NASA has a TV program (that is, they syndicate their material on public access channels throughout the country). Very frequently, they have things like the crew in the cabin doing work at 0g, and it's very boring. Sometimes it's better, but not usually. It's likely that a public access broadcast was transmitted nearby on a UHF/VHF (i don't know the dif. but OLD SCHOOL) that was somehow picked up on a 900mhz (or 1.2 or 2.4 ghz) wireless receiver...WHICH IS POSSIBLE TO DO.]]>Jun 15th 2007 10:07AM
