My guess is that your neighbor is a real electronics junkie and has 
a low power UHF video relay transmitter to send his signal around his
house.  

Ones that use the regular TV channels are illegal in the US, 
but were available until the FCC cracked down on them, and
allowed this sort of service on another band (902 - 928 MHz).

What's their status in Canada?
