i think that the technology would be more like your tv being not only a receiver but also a transmitter with instead of speakers 2- way receivers, the screen is also a big camera. in essence. not some 1950s james bond kinda crap.

as far as big brother spyin on us um yeah i do beleive they are, dont forget the days of the red scare.
New TV's are already expensive enough, they couldn't add something that you're describing and it be cost effective, besides, the government can't give us coupons for new TV's..They can for a simple converter box though.
