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!"

The all time best was when Howard Cosell was calling some Monday Night Baseball or Football game and some guy cut into the audio and said “Howard Cosell, the great state of Texas hates your f#$%ing guts!”

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! :-)
