Sounds like a copy of the film A Fish Called Wanda which a friend bought
back after a trip to Saudi Arabia. Every time there was even a hint of
flesh, a big black box appeared over the offending parts, and
disappeared when the 'sensitive' stuff was no longer visible. Heh.

Personally, I'd junk the box - life is too short, Freeview boxes nice
'n' cheap.
