Children Exposed to Porn While Watching ‘Lilo & Stitch’ on Disney Channel
North Carolina mom Georgie Brown says her three young children were watching their favorite movie, “Lilo & Stitch,” on Dish Network’s feed of the Disney Channel earlier this month when pornography interrupted the program shortly after the movie began, WHNS reports.
“My 5-year-old grabbed his ears and ran out of the room screaming, ‘I didn’t do it,’ and the 3-year-old was sitting there crying,” she said. Brown also reportedly has a son younger than 2-years-old.
“The kids wanted to see ‘Lilo & Stitch,’” the mother said, who had recorded the family-friendly movie earlier this month and played it later for the kids.
According to Brown’s recollection of the events, about a minute into the movie, an alert message popped up on the screen alerting that part of “Lilo & Stitch” had not been recorded because of signal problems. For the next six minutes, she says, the young children saw video of a man and a woman having sex. When the mother heard the sounds of porn coming from the television set, she rushed in to investigate.
“I just heard things that probably shouldn’t be on Lilo or Stitch,” she told WHNS. “My first thought was the children have changed the channel.”
More from WHNS:
Brown’s children had not changed the channel, she said. Instead, the six-minute pornographic video was recorded within the movie, Brown said.
“If you can imagine Maggie Simpson sitting on a sofa watching porn that was him just sitting there sucking his pacifier kind of clueless,” Brown said of her youngest child’s reaction. “My 5-year-old grabbed his ears and ran out of the room screaming, ‘I didn’t do it,’ and the 3-year-old was sitting there crying.”
Brown showed FOX Carolina’s Cody Alcorn the information page from the movie she recorded. Alcorn said it was very clear it was Lilo and Stitch from 2002. It was rated PG.
Cody Alcorn talked to David Guttey, a contractor for Dish Network, who looked at Brown’s receiver.
“I’ve been in the TV industry for 15 years and I’ve never once seen that,” Guttey said. “It kind of had me astonished.”
“We are taking this matter very seriously. Our engineering groups are actively investigating these reports,” a senior manager of corporate communications for Dish Network told the Daily News.

Posted on September 20, 2012 at 5:21amIf that were true then it would have occurred with all pay TV services ,, this could have happened in only four ways ,,, (1) overpowering the Disney Channel uplink signal that all TV resellers would be rebroadcasting or (2) screwup at DishNet ,, DishNet doesn’t have the sports contracts , they have always relied upon a better porn selection to fight DirecTV with… or (3) this particular customers DVR screwed up … when you lose signal you generally get either nothing or go to a recorded “how to fix a no signal problem” mini seminar until signal returns. If this customer has recorded porn on their DVR it’s likely that something in the hard drives VTOC or Index is pointing to a cluster of cylinders containing the porn rather than the “how to” … what I think is most likely is (4) Dishnetwork uses RF (radio frequency) remotes for most of it’s offerings… a neighbor with dishnet may have ordered porn and their remote changed this persons channel by accident… it happens. Not everything is a conspiracy people…

Posted on September 20, 2012 at 1:57pm@NEIDERMEYER that theory would be plausible except for one problem. This was recorded previously from a DVD if the stray remote accidentally changed the channel as you say the DVR would not have done a continuous record and pick back up with the show that was supposed to be recorded in the first place. I would be interested to know if anyone else experienced this event or if it was just this lady.

If I am a hacker capable of intercepting and altering television satellite signals and my end goal is to disrupt Glenn Beck’s show, THEN WHY WOULDN’T I PLAY THE PORN DURING HIS SHOW.
Or better yet. INTERRUPT HIS SHOW WITH MY OWN MESSAGE.

Yep , I had a lucrative business reselling used clean refurbished and tested Dishnet hardware making about $50,000 a year extra as a second job until Dishnet’s “signal integrity” (pirate police) department filed a malicious false claim that I was selling pirated goods… SUE ME DISHNET!

What ever happened to safeguarding the innocence of childhood? I wonder if Dish is going to have to pay a fine for this?

Posted on September 19, 2012 at 8:38pmWhenever EMS came on Comcast, DirectTV or Dish and was finished, the TV was always showing a different channel for a few minutes before the box corrected on its own. Power surges that flicked the box off for just a second would do it too. I’m wondering it was this kind of glitch. The kids will recover and eventually forget about it but you have to admit this was a weird and unfortunate event. It’s not something any parent would dream of happening during a cartoon.

Posted on September 20, 2012 at 8:47amFirst to be fare, The stats do show that by 8 years of age most kids have been exposed to some kind of porn. at least once or more this is true, but it doesn’t make it less tragic. If you think this story is “not a big deal” then you know little to nothing about porn and the damage it does. Those that belive “A little Porn here or there doesn’t hurt anything” need to do there homework on the topic! It is no different and might even be worse than drug or Alcohol addiction. It chemically changes your brain, causes personality changes, and much worse. Families get destroyed, Marriges fall apart. Anyone involved in this industry both manufacturers and consumers all need real help, the same kind of help any addict needs, in order to put their life back in order. Our country is falling apart because we have lost our Moral compus, when we think this stuff is not a big deal. It is a very big deal! If anyone out there wants to make a change or just learn more on this topic, There is free, confidental help, PLEASE go to http://www.addictionrecovery.lds.org . We as a nation and as indaviduals are better than this. Don’t by into the lie that “a little here and there, won’t hurt you.” Lets all stand a little taller, and act a little better.

Posted on September 19, 2012 at 7:27pmI appears to me that each time you hear of a “tech glitch” it is porn that gets aired! My question is: why not some other broadcast ….. news, game shows, infomercials, cartoons, sports, etc? Why do tech glitches seem to only involve porn? Is it because the other glitches do not get media attention or is it a disproportion of them porn. Then why is that?

I complained when cable suddenly gave us every channel for a free trial without telling us. there is real trash especially on HBO.
Shoot. I had planned to switch to DISH to watch Glenn Beck.

It was on for about 6 minutes. I don’t think if my child came in crying it would take me 6 minutes to get to the TV. If the 3 year old wasn’t aware, he was probably only crying because Lilo and Stitch WASN’T on, not due to what WAS on.
