false, although we know cable is a 2 way link the data comes over a data stream on a particular channel or frequency. it cannot transmit video or audio from the home.
-
False. The TX (transmitting) frequency for video,to maintain a continuous signal over most residential coax cable, is not supported without a hub or processing multiplexer to maintain the signal integrity at the point of reception. Remember your cable/satellite box is manufactured in a mostly low paid massed produced country. Unless the X-Files are coming back, I don't see it..

It is both true and false.... Talk amongst yourselves ;)
-
The thing he called a microphone looked like a resistor or capacitor to me. The thing he called a camera? No idea. It's too blurry to make out.
-
"Camera" mounted on a transformer, i.e. a heat producing device, with no visible wires
"Microphone" had tripod legs, looked a lot like a potentiometer, could not see if it was actually mounted in the board or not.
Setup, job, IMHO, and if so, Magnavox could sue this mope for libel - or is it slander?
-
Great now the Black Helicopters can just houn in on the signals from my TV. ;)
-
Its definately false...and those of you who know their electronics have already spotted the obvious flaws.
But...I disagree with those using the transmitting-over-coax argument. Those of us who have broad-band internet via the cable company transmit audio and video over that coax all the time. And those of us who do the ham radio thing have sent it through a similar coax to be transmitted from an antenna mounted somewhere on top of the house.

That is all true. But it is component specific. All the tx done via the internet, ham, whatever, all have an internal/ external device used to facilitate the tx/rx function. Signal amplification, decoding/encoding, freq. drive control circuits all really have to be "James Bonded" up to work in a random cable box. Possible but very unlikely.
In a Magnavox cable box bought at Wally World? Made in China, or Taiwan? The box would have a noticeable processing component directly connected to the "camera"/ "microphone", necessary for the audio/video to work "back" through the cable system/ satellite to the people that really care enough to go through all this effort to watch you watch TV. ::)
Me and my cat need more tin foil hats. ;)
-
The black boxes are for people without cable or sattelite dishes who get their signals over the airwaves. Why would they only want to spy on those few people anyway? Are they already watching the rest of us who pay to watch TV? ::) I need a lead foil hat because lead blocks the gubmint mind control beams.

Looks like I'm going to get high milage out of this picture responding to your sky is falling posts rojawe, keep em' coming I use photobucket, so it's free for me.

WHOA there Sparky! Let's not get carried away. It's an evil plot alright, but not the one you're thinking of. It's just a simple way of making sure NO ONE can watch TV for free. Simple, government sponsored greed- the "American Way".

The concept of "Govt. conspiracy" is not possible in today's political environment because the Hearings on whether or not to approve it would be used to generate political capital in the media.
Stupidity is the greater threat by far, for example, trying to spend your way out of debt.
