A while back there was a company marketing something called the "VCR
RABBIT."  It is/was basically a small UHF transmitter that would
broadcast the output from your VCR so you could watch it on other TV
sets around the house.

I bet your neighbor has one of these.  He probably has a switch box with
the satellite reciever, cable box, VCR, and Genesis game as inputs.  The
output goes to the transmitter and his main TV.  Your TV is picking up
his signals.
