Apparently, if you talk while your Samsung smart TV is being controlled through voice activation then more than just your commands may be sent to Samsung or third parties. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31296188

A brother of me produces a weekly TV program that is broadcasted through a local TV station. I help him with the transcripts which are latter converted to Closed Captions by someone else. Now asked me to do the Closed Captions myself and for that I have already software to make a a caption file...

The new season of Finding Bigfoot begins this week. Inasmuch as the episodes are already in the can and no earthshaking zoological announcement has been made I think we can assume that no flesh and blood Bigfoot has been found. I do anticipate the discovery of several new subspecies of...

Since this forum has a great mix of people from around the globe, there is something I was curious about and thought this would be the perfect place to ask... :) Where are you from and what American television shows are very popular or have been very popular in your countries?

As the 10th anniversary will soon be upon us I thought it might be useful to have a thread where we could note down any new documentaries/ TV shows which might be coming up (or any re-runs which people might find interesting, I guess). For anyone in the UK, the BBC have done a new "Conspiracy...

Hello JREF community, I just joined the forum but I have been a Skeptic, fan of James Randi, and JREF for many years. I have a question regarding the quality of a BBC program that aired for 2 seasons about 10 years called BBC Supernatural Science. My question is has anyone seen this series or in...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/02/turkey-penitents-compete-gameshow Now there's a show I'd like to see

For the price of a cheap 26" HDTV (~$400), it looks like I could get a similar-size LCD monitor and HDTV tuner card for my PC. Going with a stand-alone HDTV is simpler, but using the PC adds many features/options. (It will replace the 21" regular TV in my bedroom.) HDTV-tuner cards are...

Perusing upcoming TV listings found 2 shows next Sunday , Sept 7 on Discovery Cable channel First - "THE TOWERS AND THE PENTAGON" goes into detail about why WTC towers crumbled that day while the Pentagon was able to survive. Second - "ATTACK ON THE PENTAGON" details effects of Flight 77 as...

I mean, most of the time, except for holiday specials, there's only 1 Doctor. And then you've got 1-3 assistants. And that's it. I'm not so sure I'd call this an organization. Group or team, sure. Squad? Nah, even that's going to far. They can't even contact HQ for more help (not even in...

My dog Shiner Bark (see my avatar) is often intrigued by what's on television. Interestingly, he seems especially focused when animals appear on the screen, and shows a marked preference for mammals over reptiles or birds. I wasn't sure if he actually knew what he was looking at, or was just...

I used to watch a T.V. show about the paranormal back in the 1990's. The show doesn't air anymore however I wanted to know the name of it. In the show it's host is a elderly bald man who has a very 'creepy' type of voice, a voice suited for those kinds of shows. The shows featured stuff...

I don't think this has been posted already. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6612507.stm

If you're in the UK and can get BBC Three, a new series starts tonight called "The Bulls*** Detective", at 9pm. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/programmes/detective/ Hopefully worth a watch.

Is it really worth paying the 300 - 500 bucks to get an HDTV huge-screen tv calibrated? I've been noticing artifacts in darker scenes on my 42" plasma and I see "steps" in gradient.

not really related to 9/11, but when you see just how much it takes to take out a building it just shows how crazy the CD claims about 9/11 really are?

Back when HC's feedback addy was posted here I sent off a note regarding thier intent to broadcast "Loose Change". They got back to me today: I wonder how many astronomers and astrophysicists they consulted before determining the account of the Apollo Landings was not "truly accurate"? There...

Wich are the TV programs that best support the "official" 9-11 story? Wich are the shows whose establishment connections cause the CTers to defenestrate thier boob-tubes in disgust? Here are my personal picks: 1.) Stargate: SG-1 One thing that conspiracists and TV sci-fi writers have in...

Just as an FYI - I ran across this, which is on tonight: On Native Soil Premieres Monday, August 21 at 10pm E/P Encores Sunday, August 27 at 2pm & Sunday, September 10 at 12pm http://www.courttv.com/onair/shows/on_native_soil/ "Narrated by Academy Award® winners Kevin Costner and Hilary...

Probably ties in with the new movie but it appears the History Channel will be running several shows on the WTC and 9/11. Looks like each show is broadcast at 7pm and repeated at 11pm (central time) 8/14 - The Miracle of Stairway B, about the 16 survivors from stairway b that survived the...

This week's Dr Who dealt with "ghosts" appearing before the gullible public (They are actually cybermen in disguise). Dr Who does a nice debunking of this gullibility when Rose's Mum thinks her pet ghost is her father - with familiar smells, movements etc. That's by the by however. The bit I...

Doctor Who for my part beats all

Are there any plans to bring JREF and James Randi to television? A regular (monthly? yearly?) show on (say) PBS might help the cause by educating children (of all ages) on the value of critical thinking. The show could present the Pigasus Awards for the year as well as do an in-depth on one or...

Aaarrggghhh!! Sitting here with the tele on in the background, there's a programme on BBC2 called "Castle in the Country". They have a bloke on there, Patrick Harding, who talks about herbal remedies, but twice in separate programme's dear old John Craven has introduced him as going to tell us...

Believe it or not, this is NOT my first post at the JREF. it's just been some time, and I've lost access to my old account ... Anyway, I've been reading these Million Dollar Challenge forum posts with great interest, and I had an idea I thought I'd toss out for discussion. What do you think...

CORRECTED: Tonight, Fifth Estate has a biography of Cheney The world according to George Bush" looks great and will air on the 17th Details Sorry I got that wrong earlier. :oops:

A few days ago I was watching the Comedy Central tribute to Richard Pryor. The format of the show was that it showed clips from Pryor's act intermingled with clips of other comedians sharing their thoughts and memories of him. If you have seen Richard Pryor's comedy before then you know that...
