Watching a Disney movie quickly turned into a mad dash for the remote for a North Carolina mother.
Georgie Brown says her kids were watching 'Lilo and Stitch' Wednesday through their satellite TV provider when pornography suddenly popped up on screen.
"[There was] no warning," Brown said. "What they seen is so vulgar"
At just over a minute into the Disney movie, a box popped up indicating "part of the recorded even had been lost due to signal loss"
Then seconds later, the picture pixelated, changing into images of a man and woman having sex.
"I stood up, looked and sure enough, it was porn on my TV and my first thought was my children changed the channel," said Brown. "So I ran in here, tried to get the remote -- encouraging them to leave the room and trying to change the channel."
But Brown figured out really fast -- her kids didn't change the channel. The clip was actually inside the movie.
"The 22-month old, 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. "The 5-year-old grabbed his ears and ran out of the room screaming, 'I didn't do it,' and the 3-year-old old was sitting there crying."
The pornography finally ended, the credits rolled and then Lilo and Stitch was back on.
DISH contractor David Guttey said he looked at Brown's receiver and even he was at a loss for words.
"I've been in the TV industry for 15 years and I've never once seen that, it kind of had me astonished there bud," Guttey said. "To my knowledge that was nothing to do with the customer you know mashing buttons because if they would have stopped one and started another it would have set up another recording and it wouldn't have just followed on through."
Brown said she's still waiting on answers from DISH. But in the meantime, she said she is trying to work through this with her kids.
"When I told them [people] were coming and to fix the TV, they mimicked the action and sound back to me -- and they're only 5 and 3."
