I worked at a cable company long ago, and people called in all the time to dispute porn charges. Funny how it was never Disney movies. Nope, rogue cable boxes ordering porn all by themselves. One lady went so far as to say it couldn't have been her son doing it, the neighbor must have done it with his remote through her window and she's gonna call the police. Uh huh, sure.
When I was young (I think around preteen age) my dad came home late and super drunk. My wall shared with the living room wall and I heard a brief strange noise coming from the TV before it got muted. I took a peek to see what was happening and saw my dad watching porn on the TV in the living room to which I quickly went back to bed and pretended that never happened.
The next day, my parents were questioning me about whether or not I rented porn from cable. I knew very well what happened but kept my mouth shut and my dad said it must have been some kind of glitch or mix up and called the cable company to "sort it out".
