Same with the 'free game' apps that are available as well. Funny how they can afford to advertise on television despite being free.
Surveillance must also be the reason behind the forced transition to digital television. Spying on someone through their TV in real time was probably not ideal or even possible with analog.
There is also a new antenna format/design, I think that can send information, not just receive. Must be a way to extend surveillance into the homes of those still using them for television.
