Yankovic never was really crazy about the name UHF (his preference was "The Vidiot"), feeling that it wouldnt make much sense in a world that was slowly gravitating toward cable television, and even less so overseas, where the UHF designation is not widely known. Unfortunately, he and Orion Pictures couldnt agree on a suitable name. For the U.S. market, Orion insisted on UHF, but for the overseas release, they wanted to use Yankovics suggestion, while still tying the name to the U.S. title, so in most foreign markets the movie was called "The Vidiot from UHF". Al says in the movies commentary that he would go on a foreign television show and would be asked, "Why did you name your movie The Vidiot from UHF?" to which he felt like replying, "I DIDNT! The studio did! I hate that title!" Interestingly, in Mexico the movie was released as "Los Telelocos", which translates roughly as "The TV Crazies".
