Did you know that a CRT based TV can receive images? Clandestin technologies have allowed motivated organizations to spy on people for some time now using their TV's as a CCTV device. Just have a van outside with the right RF DSP gear, and smile, you're on candid camera!
If you are using a "digital" cable box now, where the programing and on-demand features are manged by digital data transfer for viewing the analog source, they are perfectly able to monitor your viewing habits now. There may be some FCC issues or ethics that prevent them to legally collect and use this information. If your TV is only using the base 128-129 analog channels bypassing the box, you're "somewhat safe" from this data transfer technology.
Here's another freaky invasion/hacking phenom ... you can hack into devices with network interfaces or modem circuits using HAM radio frequencies and a DSP (digital signal processor) whether it's connected to a network or NOT! A device can be totally freestanding without external connectivity. It's a form of subversion-hack.
Don't even think about cordless phones, wireless keyboard/mouse, WiFi (anything), Bluetooth and cell phone privacy. We have no electronic privacy.
