Homeowner sabotages neighbor’s TV setup, then pretends to fix it and ends years-long property dispute: 'From that day forward, he was the friendliest neighbor'

Remember the days when missing your favorite TV show meant actually missing it? No DVR, no streaming, no watching on your own time, just raw, irreversible absence. If you didn't sprint to the living room by the time the theme song started, you were out of luck until that episode randomly reaired three weeks later at 2 a.m. And who could forget those massive satellite dishes some folks had in their backyards? Small countries could've launched spacecraft off those things. You'd hit a button, and the dish would physically rotate to find the channel. It felt like summoning a signal from outer space... because you basically were.

So, what happens when a grumpy neighbor refuses to believe you own the land behind your house and spends his retirement lurking there like a disgruntled gargoyle? If you're clever (and petty), you use your knowledge of wireless interference and 90s tech to ruin his TV signal, then swoop in as the hero. Obviously.
