It seems like they are copying Microsoft.......
Big Brother Alert: Cameras in the Cable Box to Monitor TV Viewers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED5-iMVhDQc#)
-
This would be used by Microsoft to justify their XBone.
I'm sad that the world is hell bent on invading on people's privacy...

On the bright side, you can probably use this to tell them to fuck off.
Oh, and also any other kinds of offensive jokes that may involve their mothers.
-
No more naked Castlevania playthroughs for Crisis....... :P
-
Sounds like another reason for me to keep ignoring cable. Or, failing that, to make future investments in camera-lens sized electrical tape.
-
I'm still using the same box that I've had for over 7 years. :P
-

Well that's fucking bullshit. >:(
-
You only need to put the Cable Box inside a black sound-proof box and its ready. That or put a mirror in front of the camera, so they will exactly know that they are being mocked.
-
It's sad how they can do this and get away with it.
They have no right to spy what people do.
That commentary about Crisis, be it true or not, made me think something...
I'm usually on my underwear watching TV on my bedroom, because I like to watch TV before sleeping (I'm not joking, I really do that), so what right do they have to see me in my underwear? (sometimes not even that, because I also have the TV on when I come out of the shower, and since I'm on my bedroom, why would I care? Now I have to see if the box sees me when I change clothes?).
I hope people start uprising and they have to pay, because this just can't be legal.
They don't have rights to do this >:(

Wait 'til the rest of the gang reads your post Pfil! ♥

But I was being serious about that.
They have no right.
But you're right, I guess I walked into the dragon's den myself :P

There must be a way to steal the signal and send it to my PC.................

I've gotten rid of my cable a while ago. Too expensive for something that I have to be on their schedule for.
Cable is old news. It's becoming more and more irrelevant in the current world. I have no intentions of going back. I want to watch what I want when I want, and if I'm paying already I really don't want to be interrupted with ads. Though I will admit turning on the TV for a random show, especially on History or Discovery, can be of merit. You can get the same effect though, if you had a pick what you watch service that simply has a 'watch a random thing from this channel' button.
I also don't want to pay for 230 channels I will never watch. Especially when the cable companies keep adding to the list, without you being able to opt out, and then demanding a higher fee. This happens about every 3 months were I live. Unacceptable. If I could have my way I'd get History, History International, Discovery, and Cartoon Network, and maybe a couple of more, like local channels.
So I said, screw em, and dropped it completely. Let me know when we have internet TV where you can choose what you want to watch without all the bull shit.
-
Well, its not a internet TV, but we can already watch what we want in some sites that have a entire seires and pass one episode after other like in TV. Also Netflix let you choose things if what I heard about it is correct.
-
Oh yes, I'm aware. The only problem is that you are largely getting past seasons at a delayed rate than their initial airing. Japanese media has come to terms with it, and has been releasing anime simulcasting with the episodes on TV. This is great, and I wish to see more of this, as well as American TV following suit.
-
Yes, that would be great, they could even still earn they deserved money in some way but without intrusive ads and we could select what to watch :)

This thread is heading into Creeper Territory...

-
Well, if they are going to see me anyway and there's nothing I can do about it, I can start charging people for that, and we'll go 50/50 with the cable company...
I can become a pioneer in this area.
I just made the thread a little creepier... :P
-
I would pay for it...
...more creepier now? xD
-

We can arrange that, provided the sum of money is right...
There's different prices, and they depend of the amount of clothes I'm wearing.
Even creepier now :P
It must be the creepiest thread ever, but I can be wrong, Jorge-sama must know.
-
I've seen creepier.
I guess I won't make a fuss about it if you're ok with it.
Can't rape the willing. OHSHI~

So less cloth means more cheaper right? Since clothes value money it would be more expensive to show them xD

Oh no, silly, I already have the clothes! The valuable assets don't cost money...
I still have to figure out the prices, but less clothes mean higher prices :P
Something like this:
* Winter clothes, full, with hat, snow glasses, snow boots: $100 per minute.
* Jeans and T-shirt: $200 per minute.
* Everyday summer clothes: $400 per minute.
* Schoogirl costume: $700 per minute.
* Bikini: $1000 per minute.
* Special VIP promotion: $20000, no time limit.
And that's as far as I go, now tell me what kind of plan suits you better and give me your credit card number :P

Hahaha! ;D
Really? Post the links, please!
By the way, you all know I'm joking! I have so much fun doing this!
You'd all die of surprise if you knew how shy I really am in real life (and my mom would die of surprise if she knew the things I write here or the anime I watch :P).
-
Im only have some fun too, its not for real xD
I would add one more 0 digit at the end of the last plan and ask for a more special plan than this Special VIP.
Its better we stop or we will burn this thread. lol

Hahaha! But I didn't specify what the VIP plan is...
It consists on me singing anime songs in karaoke with no time limit, wearing cat ears.
Did you have something else in mind? I don't quite follow... :P

You follow, since you only mentioned cat ears and nothing else, it means that you are wearing ONLY these cat ears and nothing more. So we return to this:

(sometimes not even that, because I also have the TV on when I come out of the shower, and since I'm on my bedroom, why would I care? Now I have to see if the box sees me when I change clothes?).
:P
-
Whoohoo~ Pfil! You're gonna be rich! ;D
-
Hahaha! Yes, I will! ;D
But I didn't say I wouldn't be wearing nothing more than the cat ears, but Lely already signed the contract, so now the deal is done! :P
