I recall seeing this idea at least 20, maybe 30 years ago. It's not a new idea at all. When Nielsen found people blatantly cheating in their diaries (who *didn't* say they watched all the Star Trek episodes - we'd seen them all 5 times already anyway), they started installing tuners that actually recorded what channel was tuned in. But then they found people would set that and fall asleep or wander off to the kitchen or something. So they started toying with the idea of detectors and/or cameras.
Predictably, consumer acceptance was and always has been 0%. Not enough incentive. Possibly the only news about this is that this story was about Comcast, not Nielsen. I'd do it in exchange for free cable. On Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 8:49 AM, Ralph <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Spy cameras on our cable TV boxes?
