If it was you better believe I'd be expecting to be paid. I don't work for free.
But hasn't been cable in my house for 7 years let alone a cable box so I'll just have to hope my website picks up  |

Pretty much a 'free' and new revenue stream for Comcast
Their recognition system may not work too well if you have a couple doing the horizontal polka on the sofa.

Seriously, who does Comcast think they are?
Firstly, I hope and pray this will be a voluntary. Secondly, is this the best way to keep track of who is watching the TV? How about a simple login system? Login and select who is watching the TV if they are so damn interested in what people are watching.
Why does Comcast even care who is watching and what they are watching? They aren't content providers. They just deliver content. They should care less. The only reason is that content providers would probably pay Comcast a lot for that kind of information.
But seriously, does Comcast have a PR department? Do they care about their customers at all? I left Comcast and would suggest it to all other Comcast customers. They DO NOT care about their customers.

Ah, but they are content providers. Comcast Sports Net, E!, The Golf Channel, G4 and several others are owned by Comcast and they sell local ad insertions on all of their systems. Such technology would be a gold mine for them.
Which is why I am certain Kunkel was not joking around.

Re: Time to drag out the standard line Its not about not having anything to hide its about the the fact that I don't always get dressed to watch tv. Whose to say they won't activate the camera when no one is watching TV?. Ever had sex in your living room? Better yet if you have one in your bedroom, would you really want a camera pointed right at your azz while you're freakin? |

Re: WTF? I'll take 2 of these. One to toss off a third story building and another to repeatedly run over with my car. Then, those Comcast execs can watch as their equipment gets abused. |
