    Well one time early in the morning around 12 O, Clock AM I forget what time but during 1-2 AM I saw NES Dr. Mario bieng played on my telivision set...AND THERE WAS NO NES IN SIGHT!!!! .

    All the way into four AM I watched Dr. Mario run and was in a demo for awhile and then somebody was playing the game until like four in the morning.

    When I awaken after falling asleep from watching Dr. Mario in almost perfect colr being played all I sawed was a blank messy screen you would see when your tv would sort out.

    I mean what in the wordl and how did that happen. This was around the time I had Super MArio RPG on my previous television that had UHF attena/input only and I was watching Dr. Mario being played on my tele.

    The people in the area don't really have anything high tech or is into games or anything.

    Somebody told me they was using a wireless tv adapter and yojurt television picked up on it.

    Can anybody explained what really occured when I saw Dr. Mario being played the living daylights on my set. No really I am not kidding :katamari:

    unless you're just pulling out random stupidity, here's why you saw this:

    Most game consoles runs on the same channel setting when using the antenna (C03 or C04, iirc), if you have that tuned in on your TV, then if you hook your TV set up to the antenna plug in your wall and you let's say... live in an apartment in a building, then someone else can easily hook their game console up with a splitter to their antenna output and their TV, resulting in their image being sent to their TV, whle also being able to recieve the regular TV signal from the antenna, but thanks to the way they've made this connection (By most likely just twinning cables or something), the game console signale gets shared out to your TV too, since you're all physicle connected to the very same antenna cables.

    Normaly, there should be a systems that prevents these kind of things from happening though.

    I used to have my VCR setup like that so it could be tuned in and watched from anywhere in my house.



    However, you can also buy small boxes you hook up to devices that enables you to broadcast/forward a signal over a short distance too (mainly meant to avoid having to put out cables if you want your satellite TV, DVD player, etc to be shared around the house)

    All I had for a Antenna at the time was a Hanger that was previously used for gutting the bath when it was clog. Then again the tv did have a small curved wire in the back. Still I was moving it around at the time and it had no anttena.

    Your probably right about the wireless short signal thing, still this was like 3:00 in the morning.
