I'm just not fond of the idea of someone being able to track what I do on the web... I always think that someone is watching me through my built in webcam on my laptop.

I know what you mean. I recently developed this far out theory that people will identify as me being paranoid, but hear me out. I wonder if tv sets do more than just provide entertainment. Is it possible that with digital & frequency manipulation that your tv could actually watch you? I know it sounds crazy, but think of how everything will be converted to digital format in the next couple of years. I heard a line in a song back in the 90s that said something about phone conversations being automatically wiretapped(happening), digital space monitoring stations that watch everything everyone does, active tv sets that watch us just as we watch them, & many other things. These things seem extreme, but are they???

I think theyre using tvs to send out subliminal messages.

I think pretty much anything is possible if you are a skilled enough hacker.. But I do think the LED light would come on if the webcam was being used. haha but that would be kind of funny if they could see because I leave my laptop open on my desk most of the time... in my bedroom....

because analog tv's can receive a digital signal without one

otherwise its like another language to the tv

and its only people who use an antennae, not people with cable or sattelite, so what about those folks?

There is a way people can still use their antennas... I saw a commercial about it. Although I don't know why you would want to.

mjetta meant to say "can't" ... as in you can't watch TV with an antenna without a converter box after the first of the year or something ... you would know that if you'd *listened* to the commercials :mrgreen::mrgreen:
