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!"

I just happened to be watching HBO when this happened. I called my wife into the room so that she could witness Captain Midnight's shenanigans! :-)
