Is your Smart TV spying on you? Is your cable company spying on you?

A UK blogger discovered that his new LG Smart TV was sending back unencrypted information about what TV shows he was watching and the names of files in his USB card attached to his TV to LG. “In fact, there is an option in the system settings called "Collection of watching info:" which is set ON by default. This setting requires the user to scroll down to see it and, unlike most other settings, contains no "balloon help" to describe what it does.” He turned this switch off; however, it had no effect! The LG Smart TV was still spying on him.
