Re: Receiving your address on my tv
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a mailing list. Please keep the mailing list CCed on all replies. sylvia bowman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for answering my email. Believe me this is not a joke. It's driving me crazy. My tv is hooked up to Cox Cable in Las Vegas, NV. The channel I'm receiving the message on is CBS. The address looks something like this: http://[n:][e:2000101][8A41] What makes you think this address has anything to do with FreeBSD? I've received other addressess also, but you are the first ones kind enough to answer me. It begins with a solid black square that almost completely fills the screen. Then your address scrolls across the top of the screen. When that one is complete, the same address scrolls across the screen under the first. It continues until it reaches the bottom. They just keep moving up and new ones are added at the bottom. If I click a volume button the addresses stop for a few seconds and then start up again. I've tried to tape it because everybody else is asleep and no one believes me, but it won't tape. When I play the tape back I just get a blurry screen. This is almost definately a problem with Cox. As bizaar as it sounds, somehow it doesn't suprise me. However, I'm sure you got the other emails ... most folks on the mailing list assumed this was some sort of joke. I can't blame them, it sounds pretty silly/crazy. However, most cable companies are using the Internet to transfer their data around. Just like it's possible to crack a MS Windows machine to steal informatin from it, it's probably possible to crack Cox's equipment as well. If I were you, I would contact Cox and bitch them out. Even if someone on the Internet has managed to crack Cox's system to push data to you that they shouldn't be allowed to, it's _Cox_ responsibility to fix it. You may have to use a video camera to capture what's happening, as it's very possible that it's occuring in such a way that your VCR can't capture it. However, it's almost definately not related to FreeBSD, and thus you're unlikely to get very much useful assistance from this mailing list. Despite the fact that Cox is likely not to believe you, then deny that there is a problem, those are the people you need to speak with to get it fixed. Be persistant. If you can't get a response from them, call the local news station and see if they'll be willing to do an expose ... news crews love stuff like this.

The fact you can't tape it, though, is interesting and suggests that the signal isn't coming through the cable.
