Re: Tom posted this over yonder
Sorry guys but I will not buy into this one. I am willing to bet good money it is all a hoax and people will feed off of this like vultures
If big brother is using black helicopters at night to fly over our neighborhoods...... what are they using during the day?
If they are spying on me I bet they turn off that channel because according to my wife......... I enjoy complaining!
X2 !
I call BS .
Looks like an IR reciever for the remote , to me .
Stand alone OTA HD reciever , doesnt look like it is networkable without a piggy back transciever for whatever format/protocol the spy desires .
Very feasible for your average geek to pull off , but , still no proof of Big Brother watching your nekkid butt watching Jay Lenno .
Now stuff like cell phones and PDA's with embedded networking capabilities ARE easily hackable , and used for all manner of shennanigans .
Cable and DSS boxes are also possible , as most every one has built in networking capabilities these days .
Still , no provider and/or manufacturer would dare risk the backlash resulting from negative repurcussions from this kind of capability .
Outside of specific , targeted surveilance needs , Big Brother need only intercept the data/voice communications at key strategic points , like they have been doing for decades .
I did have a customer who INSISTED that BOTH Jay Lenno and David Letterman were watching her through her TV !
She even filed a complaint with the local PD , and there was an officer there when I arrived . She was very well known to the cops , as she went off her meds quite often , lmao .
