CABLE TECH
SAYS HE WAS SHOWN DEVICE THAT CAN SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING IN FRONT OF THEIR TV
SETS - FOR SECURITY PURPOSES, OF COURSE
I have read a couple of your articles from readers on the Governments idea
to get rid of regular tv and get hooked up to cable or sattelite.
I worked for the cable company years ago installing the new fiber optic lines in
California and spreading out from there. We had a meeting one morning with some
people from the cable company to show us why we were putting in the new lines
and had to be careful not to bend or disfigure the cables.
They showed us a device in the cable box that let them see through your
television, for security purposes, If you were old and fell or had a robbery,
the police could see who was in the house to determine the risk of going
in. That was over 20 years ago and it scared the heck out of me. It was like On
Star. A company would be based to control the buttons to push to check your
house.
I can't believe no one else has ever brought this up with what I have seen. I
haven't heard of them implementing it yet. I think they wanted to wait for the
time that is coming.
