PALATINE, Ill. - A mother of two in this suburb of Chicago doesn't have to turn on the news for an update on NASA's space mission. She just flips on her baby monitor. Since Sunday, Natalie Meilinger's baby monitor has been picking up black-and-white video from inside the space shuttle Atlantis.

Live video of the mission is available on NASA's Web site, so it's possible the monitor is picking up a signal from somewhere.

"It's not coming straight from the shuttle," NASA spokeswoman said. "People here think this is very interesting and you don't hear of it often if at all."

Meilinger silenced disbelieving co-workers by bringing in a video of the monitor to show her class on Tuesday, her students' last day of school.

"I've been addicted to it and keep waiting to see what's next," she said.

Off hand I would quess some one near by has" NASA TV" on thier cable and, like some lazy people do, just put a plitter to an antenna on with it, instead of an A_B Switch. This will allow the signal to be brodcast for a short distance , and get picked up by the monitor.
If it was the Monitor it's self , she would have taken IT to School to show people , rather than a vidio of it in her home!

I know, never let Science interfer with a good story!

I want one of those monitors.

It's like that one time my walkie talkie picked off a signal on a airplane/helicopter
