Channel 4 TV Hijack 2

[TheHomestawWunna]

1:46  I see JASON

[LiamTheGreat]

so THAT'S where arkham city got the idea from

[ganon492]

I think this video is trying to brainwash us so DO NOT watch it

[thanatoutheosJr]

There are lots of those presumed hijack videos on youtube. As i can see, the only one that really happened is the famous Max Headroom pirate hijack. So, pirate intrusions in tv broadcasting are very rare...

[Polybun]

fake

[adriande1]

yeah, nice try Max Headroom.

[realmomentsdotcom]

bricks...have...been...shat...­

[AnHeroDesu]

fake and gay

[SuperWeaves]

Fake but creepy

[Novizzz]

lol, someones been listening to number stations a little too much :D

[C0sm0sTheM0use]

Fake.

But I still would rather watch that then whatever show was on. That was horrible.

[5ilent5hift]

Heh, its kinda sad that i can tell you that the background noice is the Backwards Music station :P Search it on youtube, tis related to numbers stations, though this vid is still disturbing >_<

[hrzns]

Fake but disturbing none the less.

[UOTLTube]

BULL CRAP

[TehDjHind]

WHAT THE CHRIST

[NikoBellic001]

Fake but creepy as hell.

[antzo8]

Its Moss from The IT Crowd!

[SonnyCorleone]

@antzo8

No, it fucking isn't, it's Dean Learner. The IT Crowd is a load of shit.

[korinoi]

did that black guy play in garth meringe's (or however you spell it) darkplace?

[steveomcbigarms]

@korinoi hell yeah,watch the it crowd its just as good

[vacuusanimum]

I don't care if it's fake. It rocks.

[turduckenband]

i just wanted to watch man to man

[doctorxombie]

Great show to use. If the still images had some moving distortion it would have looked better.

Great images and sound though.

[captainpanic08]

It is fake, but it's cool though. Would freak the hell out of me if I saw it live.

And, I'd recognise the Backwards Music Station anywhere!. :P

[ExcruciationX]

Great, even though it's probably fake. If it did actually appear while I was watching something, it would freak me out for sure.

[mindlepin]

sooooooo fake

[unholyosiris]

I'd love to see a tv hijack in person. They must freak the hell out of people.

[Savaril]

1:38 what the fuck si that

[soderholm13]

o_o creepy shit... D:

[6666Shaman]

COLL!!!!!!!!

[bvseediermedia]

Really gutted that this is faked. Still, hopefully it may inspire a budding signal intruder into mischief and make television an interesting experience again.

I'll give it 5 Stars because this is how I'd like my hijack viewing to look. Weird, sinister and creepy.

[akenaton97]

Very scary

[psychicwhoosh]

Awesome job. Great series of images. Although obviously not a real incident it doesn't matter. A very cool story could be written around this interruption. The numbers and images could have an ominous significance. I like it.

[hillbillyprofane]

Nice work, good use of a number station recording and the images were really creepy! Great stuff!

[darkmoose84]

It doesn't matter if this was fake. It was still really cool. It was the most winning fail ever. :) And I agree that it looks like an industrial music video.

[store275]

That's some creepy shit!

[sirbargearse]

You had my hopes up but... fake. No records online of a Channel 4 hijack. Only the Max Headroom and Captain Midnight ones in the US. Shame. Cos this looked oh so cool. So... great fake!

[GirlGamerMIssTreecie]

SO SO SO FAKE.

Epic Fail. ( But i like what you did c: )

[burannadense]

fucking great !!!!! yeah... cool!

[racrmimbpsvc]

The bit at 1:33 was terrifyingly random.

[racrmimbpsvc]

Very scary. TV hardly ever gets hijacked here in the UK, but the people who hijack channels in the UK make it really scary, what with this and the Vrillion incident on Southern TV in the 70's.

[Spennie999]

If that happened when I was watching TV, i'd cry.

[FurryFighter20X66]

I am siding with a lot of the other people here in that I think it is a fake too. Still, I couldn't help but favorite it because it is so good. Excellent use of a numbers station.

[Shad0wz69]

thats fucking awesome nice man. You should have made it more scarier instead of putting things people would obviously recognise. Without the woman saying the numbers it would look like a Nine Inch Nails video :D

[oHelmslyo]

Note to the descriptor, it was Captain Midnight, not Midnight Cowboy, and that wasn't the movie being shown at the time

[blackandblue10]

yep fake... but i want to point out the audio is a Recording of a Numbers Station on Shortwave radio. (those are creepy in themselves, mind you!)

[LinkMyBoy]

yeah thought it sounded like a number station there

[wonkycrayons]

Real or not that would scare the shit out of me if it happened while I was watching tv.

[MarioLoco03]

yeah i would have not wanted to be alone at that time lol

[paulsmartialarts]

Why is it than when you type "tv hijack" and "channel 4" into Google, you get absolute jack shit? LOL. You deleted my comment last time I posted this, ha ha. Sad.

[blastbeatexorcist]

Fake.

[bhfam]

it scares me. totally.

[TheJazzdogg]

Fake. The signal would typically show distortion and lack of sync before a highjacked signal could overpower another signal, not to mention TV network broadcast transmissions are now encoded so if an unencrypted transmission overpowers the main uplink then it'll just jump to a secondary channel automatically.

[KaneRobot]

Fake or not, at least the hijacker made sure to put a Halo screenshot in there ("remembertosmile")

[thisusernameistaken2]

Looks incredibly fake.

[handelje]

Fake.

[PuzzlingEvidenceTV]

The audio is shortwave comm, recently shut down because we need it no more in this day of computer. A four cd album of these sounds can be found in "The Conet Project, Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations".

[radiorob1]

The audio is from a "spy numbers" transmission.

[Schloonktapooxis]

If you notice the little bars on top and bottom of the video, you'll see the other images do not have that. If the transmission had that missing, there's a high chance that it is in fact fake.



Camera's USUALLY don't have that.

[fiveMIRrOrs]

I say it's fake. At least I hope that anyone with the skills to hijack a broadcast could come with something smarter than badly shopped pics of white masks (ooh so scary) and... Halo3?!?!

[RoboChachi]

This appears to be fake. Searching for any news of the incident yields no results.

[dacreative]

this is the creepiest hijacking ever,

[LukeIbbetson]

i feel like after watching it in five days i'll wake up on a beach in peru heavily sedated with deep anal hemorrhaging.

[jonrev]

Fake.

[MauField]

It's real, it happens more then it is talked about I can say we get it around here atleast once a month

[jouvamoufette]

"I can say we get it around here atleast once a month" hahaha. Oh that's funny. Please, go on with your bullshit :)

[MauField]

not going to get into a pissing match with somebody I do not know, I just spoke what I know and have seen on more then one occasion. I live in a hick town that barley gets OVA signal so it's very easy to hijack a low strenght tv signal.

[thenextpope]

shame it dont interupt shit shows

[alanjh]

like big brother

[Fallconn2]

its not so scary when you dont expect it. knowing that its going to happen makes its scary... btw this looks like the work of max headroom, or one of his fans!

[Barnezy91]

fuck me that is scary

[mysteryword]

Dude, if that thing came up around the time that it happened, I would sh1t myself. That's almost like something u would see on "The Outer Limits". That's really weird. U know what would be really creepy is if it's the same person who does all those other intrusions.

[Ninjamonkey17]

Woah, that's weird. Like something out of a movie.

[shelby119]

Spooky!
