Re: Smart TV from LG phones home with user's viewing habits, USB file namesThe Samsungs have a camera and microphones, voice and facial recognition software too. We have smart phones and On-Star to track everywhere we go. We've got the Xbox One and Smart TVs recording us in our homes. We have set-top boxes in the works to do the same, if not already. What next?  |

Smart electric meters, which have also been raised as a security/privacy concern.
After that? Probably the toilet. |

Not to mention, any suspicious drug or alcohol activity sent to law enforcement, and your company's HR dept. and insurance Co.  |

said by Millenium:The Samsungs have a camera and microphones, voice and facial recognition software too. No, I have a Samsung Smart TV but it does not have a camera or mike, or voice or facial recognition. It's connected to the internet (has a web browser and a lot of apps). I bought this LED in Sept 2011 and it was the first of the Samsung Smart TVs. So, I'm lucky as the TV is great, and I like some of the apps (like watching a lot of youtube videos through the youtube app on the TV), but since it is already at two years old which is "ancient" electronically, I don't have the privacy invading crap that is on the current models. You can turn all that crap OFF easily. I would hate though to have to pay for a TV with all the crap on it just so I could then turn off the crap. I'm glad I bought mine when I did.  |

It's the newer Samsung models that include the "Smart Interaction" feature. |

I simply refused to purchase a TV with a camera and mike. (I also refused the picture in picture feature except on the Smart page where I hate it -talk about ultra distracting even with the sound muted). |

What next? my car is a dumb car no onstar it's 03 it would be analog anyways if it did have onstar which is phased out all ready. said by Blackbird:I can see it now: a black box monitor on every toilet outlet, with wireless reporting. And NSA will tie into it, too...  they would be able to analyze your "leavings" said by antdude:My client's new Vizio 80" HDTV's wizard set up asked for the network, but it couldn't be skipped. I asked the Internet and Vizio's support on how to skip it. No one knows. It seems to be unskippable.  you can setup a fake router that goes nowhere. 127.0.0.1 aka loop back |
