Maybe i'm stupid, but why would a TV even do that? All it's know is what you're watching today, right? How is that information useful? If you're living with other people, the TV couldn't even know who's watching, that would make the data useless.

    Knowing the distribution of what entire households watch is very useful. It's not about spying on you personally.
