I could not believe my eyes.

I have a friend who is kind of a conspiracy theorist. He was trying to convince me that the many of the digital TV convert boxes that our coming out have microphones and cameras built into them. Knowing a bit about electronics I bought one of these devices opened it up fully intending on proving him wrong. To my surprise was right. This device has both a miniature camera lens and what looks like a microphone. I was so shocked I took pictures and video Please send this out to every one you know who is using one of these devices.

Hear are the details on the device I bought.
Its the MAGNAVOX TB110MW9 Digital to Analog Converter

any thoughts on this??

*Waits for number of people who know what they are talking about to point out why this is bullshit*

 

[Raziaar]

Unless there's a hole on the front where that 'camera' is that I'm missing, this is bullshit.

It sees through plastic! OooooooooOOoOOOooOOoo.

this is madness

lol, people actually believe this bullshit? I guess it's the kind of camera that can see through plastic. There are so many other things wrong with this I don't even know where to begin.

"Knowing a bit about electronics"? Yeah sure , whatever.

I'm pretty sure that plastic part blocking it is that clear black plastic type, like that you could see light through.

Still bullshit though of course.

I'm pretty sure it's not.

I'm pretty sure you're an uglyface.

Well I think it is just a hoax. The CIA didn't implant them. Elvis did.

RF sensor ? , set top boxes dont use RF they use Infrared sensors and that camera looks like its glued onto a power transformer. the thing he's calling a microphone looks more like a photodiode . what a load of BS.
