Breaking on Fox News Right Now, Camera's Inside your cable tv box!

1984

Don't worry...it's just updating.

It is very simple. Someone open up their box and get us proof.

Post the pics/video here. If its true, we will shotgun the info everywhere.

I've always been curious about the new Direct TV Genie system.
The box is huge.

All new technoligy has all of these features looks like the rfid chip will not be needed its already all around you

Open your damn box and stop speculating, hmmmm?

Are you kidding? I'm gonna do it TWICE as much now. Let them get a good eyefull.

So, where's the link?

LMFAO - Your all walking around with mobile cell phones in your pockets - do you really think they are turned off !!!

OP still hasn't provided a link.

Wait. What rights did God give you? That nobody put cameras in your house? The 'rights' that everybody bitches so much about being violated are being violated by the same entity that 'gave' them to you...the government. You've got every right to be upset, but at least be accurate.

I wouldn't be so sure about Roku-like boxes being non-invasive.
I'm sure that they are capable of sending data both ways too.
After all it too, is web based system...right?

Be happy you type this from the comfort of your home, because if you were in front of me right now, I'd fix your face.

I am so vindicated now!

For years I have been warning about cameras in TVs. The CIA has been using them in hotels like Embassy Suites since the 90s.

Roku is a must...

it is as bad as the guys who put cameras in the shower stalls of houses they rent.

the IR diode is not a camera, im not saying there is not a camera in yours, just that there is not two.

The infrared photodiode receiver in the box may look like a camera but it isn't, the photodiode material itself is designed to be an IR bandpass filter which would not even be able to view the visible spectrum, not only that but the IR photodetector circuit is only a 2 or 3 pin diode with inline frequency filter capacitors as well for the IR badnwith which is not sufficient to receive video.

-Someone who designs receiver circuitry

the cameras are now receiving the ir signal

not just a simple ir detector

read what is printed

before you tell me how much more stupid i am than you

Just another reason not to have cable in the first place.

I haven't had television of any sort for years.

Sorry man this was a hoax- The guy admitted it to WIRED magazine back in 2009- he placed it in there.

To the rest of you- please be calm. There is NO CAMERA INSIDE YOUR CABLE BOX. People have been claiming this for decades and yet NOT ONE CASE has ever been proved. You are being duped.

that is a fuckin peizo beeper - "sonalert" brand.
fucking Obvious (used em a million times myself)

[link to www.mallory-sonalert.com] (top right style)

the "microphone is NOT a "three lead device"! Mic. uses TWO leads!! and what he pointed at is a vertical mount Potentiometer! not a Mic.!


geeez!

Yup.
The Round ups wont be far behind...

shhhhh,let them take all there boxs apart,dont pay any attention to the piece of tape that says do not remove under penalty of law,that rips when you peel it off an cant be fixed

Don't you just love how they throw the question mark in there? It's not a lie if it's a question.

"Have you stopped beating your wife?"

Me too!!
I love my roku

um, I thought that was why they spent billions forcing everyone to go over to digital... the digital screens themselves LOOK at you...

:)

Now u know why the big push for digital. Just checked my newish motorolla from shaw non pvr and its clean. Im betting the pvrs have them. Hey op, if you pursue this watch out for when they claim its there but not turned on etc. That will be their lame excuse.
