The reason you probably got the Playboy channel was not because they were
test marketing it, but because Playboy Channel and the Christian network
use the same transponder on the satellite. The religion people have it
during the day, and Playboy at night when the money is really made (since
Playboy would have REAL problems broadcasting during the day when kiddies
could see it, this is a way to make some money on their extra bandwidth).
The engineers at your cable company probably forgot to turn off the feed.

(talk about strange bedfellows!)
