A video tape of a television hijack that took place last year during a Channel 4 broadcast of 'Man to Man with Dean Learner'. The signal was hijack and a series of bizarre images was shown before normal transmission was resumed. It was similar to the Max Headroom and Midnight Cowboy hijacks of the late '80s

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • so THAT'S where arkham city got the idea from

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

  • 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...

  • fake

  • yeah, nice try Max Headroom.
