Strong reason to suspect that two way cameras and microphones are in the Television sets. They can look into and listen into your house whenever the Television is plugged in.
There was a time in my life when I saw evidence of this in my personal life. It was really like people on live television were like responding to things I said and did. I took note of it.
One day I was sitting at a Mc Donalds restaurant and this guy sat near me. He said, those people on the TV can really see you. I did not know that. He said he wanted to go and live out in the woods somewhere and get away from the city. I told him that there was a time when I thought that the people on the TV could see me too, but I thought it was a trick of the devil to deceive me and it was not really so.
After thinking about this and based on what I have seen personally, I must conclude that the television sets have hidden cameras and audio equipment in them and people can look and listen into your house through the televisions sets.
So unplug the television when you are not watching it.

A guy on another website said it can be back engineered from the screen. Probably also back engineered from the speaker.
An electron beam moving in a raster could scan the screen like in a video camera, changing light into electrical impulses for transmission. A small portion of the screen used like this would keep power consumption down to be undetectable. The sound could be changed into impulses using a small portion of the speaker diaphram. So you would not find a camera in the set. The camera and microphone are using components already there.
You might have the wiring in the yoke coiled a different way and some added circuitry and that is all. It means they could hide it so that you could not be able to tell what it is.

I can't really see how it's possible - most broadcasts aren't live in most parts of the world because of timechange, along with TV shows being pre-recorded and acted out on scripts. Besides, what career is watching people in their homes and seeing how they respond to their TVs? Wouldn't it be illegal to do so without viewers consent? What genre of show are you saying people 'watch us' through? If they were trying to collect ratings, they do so by seeing how many people are tuned to that channel at specific times - not watching then in their homes. Besides that, wouldn't it have to be broadcasted back to these 'watchers' or 'spies'? Does it effect the select group of people without cable, or who use videogame consoles or DVD/VCR players? A microphone can be easily hidden, but being connected to the television how would it record the viewers at home without the television sound drowning it out? It's an interesting thought, but unlikely.

It is theoretically possible for people to measure the vibrations the heat filaments in your toaster make when you talk, thereby hearing what your saying...but why would they?

I Have worked on surveillance systems where we have put hidden cameras and or microphones in things like clocks, DVD players, VCR's, fire-alarms, ceiling speakers etc...

The only times I have done this was for a business wanting to keep an eye on their employees or a cash register or supplies. I highly doubt anyone takes an interest in what people do in their own homes in front of a TV. Besides, an unmodified TV has no way of sending video back to anyone, there has to be a hidden camera for that to work, as well as a way to transmit the signal, usually, in the case of hidden cameras I have setup this is done over the internet.

Yeah i echo that, why?

Well, plus, if EVERY TV had a spy cam, oh c'mon, who would waste time looking at 6 billion people sitting on their couch. Only Aliens can do that! Laughing Laughing

Ah, but computer screens are not TVs. They can't transmit. They only recieve via the computer
