Not sure if the right board, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this happen to them.

On multiple occasions, while watching TV, my wife has experienced the TV being “hijacked” by someone that looks like they are wearing a GoPro videoing the most mundane things. It happened several times before she thought to record it with her phone, bc I thought she was nuts. lol
Today’s episode was of a woman knitting, all it showed was her hands, but you could hear her talking to someone in the room. Having a normal conversation. I think she was Asian.

The other one she recorded was a man playing mine craft. All you could see was his hands holding the controller and his TV screen. He was middle eastern and he too was having a conversation with a woman.

These videos last for 30 seconds or so and then go off. The first few times the wife freaked out and cut the tv off..

Sorry for the wall of text. Just wanted to see if anyone had experienced that or knew what it was..

Check your router & network to make sure no one is piggy backing into your system, may have to change the password.

Damn, I clicked this thread thinking I would get a youtube link that would instruct me on how to hack into the tvs of my enemies.

Changing the Network ID to "FBI Surveillance Van" may work, too.

Was she watching a copyrighted broadcast(s)?

Something like a football game or movie?

I've had the exact same thing happen a few times, most recently the night before last. Seems to be a known issue:

This happened to me just yesterday while watching a Trevor Lawrence late hit video.
