- A while back there was a company marketing something called the "VCR
- RABBIT." It is/was basically a small UHF transmitter that would
- broadcast the output from your VCR so you could watch it on other TV
- sets around the house.
-
- I bet your neighbor has one of these. He probably has a switch box with
- the satellite reciever, cable box, VCR, and Genesis game as inputs. The
- output goes to the transmitter and his main TV. Your TV is picking up
- his signals.
