 Couch potato Roy Knable ( John Ritter  (qv)) buys a new satellite & TV system from a mysterious salesman named Spike ( Jeffery Jones (I)  (qv)) after his wife, Helen ( Pam Dawber  (qv)) demolishes their TV in frustration. What Roy doesn t realise is that the satellite is a soul-collecting route to Hell. During an argument one night, Roy and Helen are sucked into a warped version of cable TV - 666 channels of bizarre programs, each designed to collect the souls of Spike s customers. Roy & Helen find themselves caught up in shows such as "You Can t Win" (a game show), "Northern OverExposure", "Driving Over Miss Daisy" and a cartoon sequence called "RoboCat", as well as "Duane s Underworld" and "HTV". When Roy makes it through the trial period without losing his soul, Spike discharges him, but keeps Helen hostage. Now Roy must re-enter this bizarre world of Hell Vision TV if he ever wants to see Helen again.
