SMART TVs TELEVISION AND THE INTERNET

More and more television manufacturers are producing Smart TVs. Although they differ in some
ways most of them use the same technology. Smart TVs can be connected to the internet using a
setup box, a cable or wireless adapter. As more and more broadcasting companies are showing
videos on demand, Smart TVs are an investment for the future.

Some decades ago watching a conventional television was a completely different experience. If you
were lucky you had a handful of channels you could watch. Depending on your rooftop antenna and
the signal you got, reception was sometimes bad and during storms the signal was lost altogether.

In the 1970s, cable TV gave viewers a choice of several different programmes, not only from the
local area. The arrival of video recorders allowed viewers to record their shows during the night time
or while they were on holidays. Satellite television in the 80s and 90s gave people access to
hundreds of TV channels from around the world. In the last decade Internet television has been
growing rapidly.

Today Smart TV today offers the user a new way of selecting content from the thousands of
entertainment items. Content is often divided into genres, so you when you choose comedy, a Smart
TV can offer not only the shows and movies that are currently being shown on various TV channels
but also display comedy clips on YouTube, Vimeo or other video networks. Smart TV gives its
audience a broader selection of what they want to watch.

Modern TV sets are not only restricted to videos. They allow you to access your Facebook account or
communicate with friends around the world via Skype. Smart TVs can talk or communicate with
other devices, like your mobile phone or desktop computer.

The smart TVs, however, still have a long way to go before they are fully accepted by viewers. For
one, the interface is not user friendly. Slow and disrupted internet connections also pose a problem.
Nobody wants apps that take hours to download or experience a pause in the middle of a thriller.

TEXT 1

Not in front of the telly: Warning over 'listening' TV

Samsung is warning customers about discussing personal information in front
of their smart television set.

The warning applies to TV viewers who control their Samsung Smart TV using its
voice activation feature.

When the feature is active, such TV sets "listen" to what is said and may share what
they hear with Samsung or third parties, it said.

Data sharing
The warning came to light via a story in online
news magazine the Daily Beast which
published an excerpt of a section of Samsung's
privacy policy for its net-connected Smart TV
sets. These records what is said when a button
on a remote control is pressed.

The policy explains that the TV set will be listening to people in the same room to try
to spot when commands or queries are issued via the remote. It goes on to say: "If
your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information
will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party."The third party was
probably the company providing speech-to-text conversion for Samsung.

In response to the widespread sharing of its policy statement, Samsung has issued a
statement to clarify how voice activation works. It emphasised that the voice
recognition feature is activated using the TV's remote control.

It said the privacy policy was an attempt to be transparent with owners in order to
help them make informed choices about whether to use some features on its Smart
TV sets, adding that it took consumer privacy "very seriously".

Samsung said: "If a consumer consents and uses the voice recognition feature,
voice data is provided to a third party during a requested voice command search. At
that time, the voice data is sent to a server, which searches for the requested
content then returns the desired content to the TV."

It added that it did not retain voice data or sell the audio being captured. Smart-TV
owners would always know if voice activation was turned on because a microphone
icon would be visible on the screen, it said.

The third party handling the translation from speech to text is a firm called Nuance,
which specialises in voice recognition, Samsung has confirmed to the BBC.

187

Samsung is not the first maker of a smart, net-connected TV to run into problems
with the data the set collects. In late 2013, a UK IT consultant found his LG TV was
gathering information about his viewing habits.

Publicity about the issue led LG to create a software update which ensured data
collection was turned off for those who did not want to share information.
