if the government actually wanted to spy on people, a machine that less than 50% of the population needs is not the way they would go about it. it’s more likely that your toilet has a camera in it.
More fuel to keep No Agenda going 😛
Yeah, that’s not a microphone, that’s a standard thru-hole, 3 leg, front adjust potentiometer. At least try to make it look like an actual microphone, dumbass.
Uncle Dave,
You’re a baaaaaaaaad man.
Damn, is it April 1st already. I better start on my taxes
Wow. Good thing I read that this is a HOAX before I went and opened my box. Maybe I will put stickers in front of it to be sure.
P.S. How were you supposed to get the signal to Magnavox anyways? The electrical plug?
Hoax!!!
The “microphone” he points to is a variable resistor. Or I thought it was… Maybe…maybe all of the circuit boards I have worked on for the last 29 years had MICROPHONES!!!!!!!! OHHHH NOOOOOOO……

I buy anything if it’s shiny and made by Apple
Magnavox and Wal-mart should file suit against these guys for this video. Of course they probably still live in their mom’s basement.
Come on Uncle Dave, where is the BS meter!!
[Your wish is my command – UD]
# 13 ChuckM – Bingo, you win.
I heard these DTV boxes allow you to see hidden channels the government doesn’t want you to see like 3.2 or 12.2. Super secret weather channels only the dark overlords know about.
#10 my EXACT thoughts too. How exactly would the video/audio feed get sent back? They need to check for any sort internal antenna that would broadcast a signal. At best you could only pick up that signal if you were parked across the street. Like a TV detector van.
Also that “microphone” didn’t look like a mic, it had 3 leads on it. A mic only needs 2. It was probably a potentiometer for adjustments done at the factory.

Uncle Dave?…
you forgot?!?…
You evil, evil, maaannnnn
[Big S*#T-eatin’ grin]
This is clearly a hoax/disinfo movie.
But isnt the infrared device technically a camera?
I glued a small lens over the hole where the camera is. Then over that I mounted a slide of
my dog taking a dump. Watch that all day, you
evil NSA/CIA/IRS. HA HA HA !!!!
>But isnt the infrared device technically a camera?
If you consider a one pixel non-visible light capturing device to be a camera. Then yes.
>I say hoax actually. How would the video/audio feed leave the box?
Via the antenna?
“gee why can’t I get in focus”
lol
and to the people that don’t think microphones need 3 wires, it’s called a ground!
how about you go look at a professional level microphone like an SM58 or a clone of that, and the XLR cables that come from it… how many leads? that’s right! 3!
as for broadcasting back thru the same antenna that the HD signals come in on.. well that would take a whole other section of the board to get that done.
Very funny video though, for spying on the redneck hicks and hill people that either can’t afford or receive cable and satellite TV. Is this spying happening to track family trees in these areas?
Its a command center!
For those who don’t understand how the signal could be transmitted back? Silly hoomans.
Try over the electrical supply. How soon they forget Internet over Electrical Grid.
Of course it’s fake – it’s the cable boxes that have cameras.
Ohhh, remember the Tv series “Max Headroom”? They had Tvs of the near future, that could see who was watching them. So they could rate the shows without the need for viewers’ journals. Well they NEVER did make a two way Tv screen, now did they? And two way video transmission has only become feasible with FIOS and digital Cable. But the Tv networks haven’t sprung for the infrastructure to rig every home up to work like that. Maybe in 50 more years, they will. Just to make sure you watch all the commercials, before seeing the program.
Greeting. If there is one thing worse than being an ugly duckling in a house of swans, it’s having the swans pretend there’s no difference.
