For anything like this to work remotely, there would have to be some point where the video the screen is playing is being transmitted wirelessly that you could overpower. While I obviously don't know how those screens work, I would be very surprised if it wasn't wired all the way; why add the vagaries of wireless to all the other possibly problems you might have with those, even putting aside the security issues? Even when it's playing a TV station back I would imagine it's conventional cable, not pulling it in over the air.

Fake or not, could this actually be done (perhaps w/ other device than an iPhone)? If so, how?
