Imagine this — you record an airing of ‘Lilo and Stitch’ because your kids love that movie and want to watch it all the time. Now imagine that while your children are watching what you prerecorded, the screen goes fuzzy and produces a scene from a porn flick instead. Traumatizing, right? Well, this is exactly what happened to one family in Fairview, NC.

Georgie Brown, a mother of three — two sons, 2 and 5, and a daughter, 3 — was letting her kids watch the Disney film she recorded from the Disney Channel through Dish Network while she sat working in the room next door. Then the worst happened.

“I just heard things that probably shouldn’t be on Lilo or Stitch,” she told FOX Carolina News. By the time she walked back into the living room to see what was happening, her 5-year-old had run away from the TV screaming, “I didn’t do it,” while her 3-year-old sat crying on the couch in front of a scene depicting a man and woman having sex.

Brown recorded the movie three days prior and a closer look at the program’s information page confirmed it indeed was supposed to record ‘Lilo and Stitch.’ But after only a minute into the film, an alert box appeared, saying, “part of the recorded event has been lost due to signal loss,” the screen pixelated and the explicit depiction commenced. Six minutes later, ‘Lilo and Stitch’ continued as normal.

“I’ve been in the TV industry for 15 years and I’ve never once seen that,” said Dish Network Contractor David Guttey, but doesn’t believe this was Brown’s fault. Unfortunately, while the family is waiting for Dish Network’s response to the problem, Brown is trying to help her children deal with the problem. It doesn’t make matters any better that they all mimicked what they saw.

So far, Dish Network had this to say: “We have technology in place to help ensure we deliver the content that subscribers want to watch. We are working with various partners and our customers to better understand what occurred.”
 
How did it only happen to one person?

Technically it does not seam feasible.

That's what I'm thinking. If Dish switched the feeds, a lot more people would be saying something. So clearly the uplink couldn't have had the issue.

On 119, there are some Disney channels that are on the same TP as HBO and Showtime channels. My only thought would be that the receiver got mixed up and started grabbing the wrong PIDs and started showing skinemax-type stuff.
 
It's not dish network's fault.

1. The parents most likely had some sort of Adult programming on their account such as playboy TV.
2. They probably had no kind of lock on their receiver to prevent the channel from being on at a certain time.

The probably had a porn channel on, then started playing the DVR, since the DVR could not play any more due to signal loss, the kids probably pressed a button on the remote, and it went back to live TV (porn).
 
I am guessing that the husband/father might have had something to do with the recorded porn but isn't saying anything. Smart man. Let Dish take the blame.

Right on. It's too unlikely to have been a Dish error. like most IT calls, it's gotta' be a user error. And eye witness testimony is the most unreliable form of evidence.
 
I thought that a DVR would stop recording if you changed the channel? Not sure ida signal loss or partial one could somehow interfere with that but it seems odd to me that this could happen at all.
 
I had an ABC program set up to record and the 211k recorded the FOX channel instead. The recorded listing said ABC, but the programs recorded were from a completely different channel. Just happened around the time of the Olympics I think. I mentioned it in another thread at the time.

SO, IT IS POSSIBLE, and it only happened on 1 TV. Something seems amiss with Dish's recordings recently......
 
Thank god it wasn't my kids DVR of Lilo and Stitch. My guess, a signal mix up when trying to pick up. I was watching a rerun of Family Guy on TBS one night when the signal went out. I got a minute of Boardwalk Empire. I don't subscribe to HBO. Only time in my years with Dish it ever happened.
 
I have heard of this happening in the past.It was several years back and pretty sure it was Dish.
 
Boy ! We never got "kiddie " shows like that, when I was a kid. I laugh now , thinking about all the time I wasted when I was about 14, trying to watch Skin-a-Max through scrambled cable after hours . You could hear it through static but God only knows what you were actually watching. :eek: Left a lot to the imagination. All I really needed was DISH and a drop out on my sat signal, to get Free PORN movie clips.;)
 
I don't think it happened to DISH but it did happen on a number of cable systems over the years. The most memorable being the night of a WWE WrestleMania event where during the show right in the middle of a match the video changed to lets say a woman wrestling a snake... but it wasn't a snake. :) I hear she got it down for the 1,2,3 count and then poof back to wrestling.

The cable company blamed the issue on a bad video switcher.

Looking at the transponder layout for that channel I still don't see how this was able to happen, I still say its not technically possible.

This makes 0 technical sense. It's one thing if many people had this issue, it's another if only 1 did.

It seems quite feasible. If PTAT reverts to recording ABC on all feeds after recovering from a signal loss, which is apparently quite common from reading some of the posts in the Hopper forum, then why does it seem so hard to accept that a Dish DVR could revert to a different channel after a signal loss event?

I had an ABC program set up to record and the 211k recorded the FOX channel instead. The recorded listing said ABC, but the programs recorded were from a completely different channel. Just happened around the time of the Olympics I think. I mentioned it in another thread at the time.

Right. Sometimes receivers do strange things, but a forced channel change will interrupt a recording. We have had different channels record before.
See?
