Aloha from Maui!!! KHO Channel 2 (Fox Network) Hawaii went down suddenly in the middle of the broadcast of Star Trek/Next Generation at about 8:25pm HST. It was only out for a few minutes, but the rainbow banded screen came up. The weird part about it is that a ghost image saying "Elvis Presley..." came up on the screen for a few moments as the movie went out and before the rainbow screen pattern came on. It reminded me of an instance a few years ago when someone managed to hack there way into into a couple of the major networks and post weirdness on screen. And no I am not drunk or on drugs....Everything else over on here (on Maui)is pretty normal so far..I'll post if anything else happens.

I had heard that Jesus or Elvis would return tonight. Somebody's preacher told them.

Sounds like a Y2k problem.
