The odds of it being real are not looking too good.
Apart of all the handwaving on how the override work, there's many others technical issues with it. For example, videos played from the camera roll wouldn't be outputted to the audio jack.

Sometimes it has horizontal scanlines, sometimes vertical, sometimes scaled chunks, etc. There's no codec or transmission method that would have artifacts like that. This is just someone showing off their After Effects skills.
- mortenjorck 16y agoThis is the part that instantly convinced me it's fake. While I'm no codec expert, pretty much any real-world transport stream I can think of would either start losing macroblocks or, most likely, drop to black, and the new stream would start with the first full keyframe. The effect shown in the video appears to be the product of imagination fueled by a conflation of digital artifacting (rectilinear dropouts), analog artifacting (flickering, crosstalk, snow), and even CRT physics (lateral distortion).
- jcl 16y agoThe irony, of course, is that if he didn't have those transitions -- if, for example, he had actually built such a device -- the video would be much less convincing because it would look too good. Instinctively, we feel a small, hacked-together device should have visible difficulty commandeering a giant screen.
- xster 16y agofor me, the tell was that at some point, the video was stretched horizontally and a bit later, stretched vertically.
