My pal edited that show. I really liked the show, it was quirky.

Just look for lonely satellite uplink operators, and you'll find the culprits.

Another famous 80's satellite hack was when HBO's signal was taken over for a brief time by Captain Midnight with color bars and graphics that said "$12.95/month? No way!"

A classic prank.

BTW, the show was quite good. Much better than most everything else on TV at the time. I guess the audience was too niche because it didn’t last long.

Excellent article on Motherboard from 2013 about the Max Headroom signal hack.

The Max Headroom hackers are still at large because they are Russians. No one thought to look there until Hillary told us.
