I see trees.

I read that the real reason that the DTV update was delayed was so they could glue more cameras and microphones to the insides of converter boxes.

I smell almonds.

Hey, we're good and cheap, good n' cheap engineering!

Observers in more technical forums like BroadbandReports.com have dissected the video and easily discerned that it's a hoax, with some taking apart their own converter boxes to provide proof. But even as posts debunking the clip roll into his YouTube comments, some remain convinced of its veracity. "There are still people defending the video," he says.

Edit: I wonder if I can copywrite that for my company name, "Good n' Cheap Engineering" LLC

Here is the inside of that receiver. Funny, I can't find anything...
I see a satellite board - obviously that's for sending the camera and mic output to big brother via satellite...

Sure - now you are a published technical author. That and a couple of bucks will buy you a cup of coffee.

...to that new box the phone company put on the pole outside my house!!!

That box has nothing to do with monitoring DTV and you didn’t “see” me placing it there, understood?

Oh, sorry. I must have dozed off at the keyboard again.
