My embarrassing/funny story goes something like this...
20 years ago technology was different. Me, my boyfriend (I'm gay BTW), and my mom were living together in a 2 bedroom apartment. The TV in my bedroom was small and wasn't "cable ready". It had no co-axial input just 2 screws to attach an antenna to. What I did have was an old switch box for a video game console (or that was it's original use). It did have a co-axial input. So, what I did was hook up the rabbit ear antenna, and then, so I could watch movies, a VCR was connected via the co-ax and I could switch between the 2.
One day me and my BF decided to watch some porn on the VCR and have sexy time. We finish up, and my BF gets dressed and goes to get a drink. He comes back pale as a sheet. Here is what my mother told him. She was flipping through channels trying to find something to watch (we didn't have cable so she didn't have many channels to flip through). Channel 7 was normally blank but today... She described to my boyfriend what she saw, 3 guys, a weight bench, and then they were having sex. The exact scene we had just watched.
Apparently I had unwittedly made a transmitter, and it transmitted whatever I was watching on the VCR which was frequently porn. Who knows who got a special treat when they tuned into channel 7? I disconnected my setup that day.
