How many TVs have a built-in camera? Not counting laptops, tablets and computer monitors as TVs .
If you're a conspiracy theorist, they all do!
I heard that red recording light on Dish receivers is actually a camera.
No, it is the ones without the red light that have a camera. They had to remove the red light to make room for the camera.
Well, I knew it was something to do with that red light.
Well, Samsung and Vizio TVs have been documented as spying on you, while the others have not. I know Roku engineers, and I tend to trust them when they tell me they are not spying on me. Now, I should add the caveat that any time you use the voice controls, someone is probably listening and recording what you say. I do not use the voice controls personally. That said, I cannot be sure everything isn't spying, but I can be sure that certain things are.
This forum is spying on you, along with every other website you log into, every phone call you make, everything you buy with a Credit/Debit card, etc.....
That article mentions built-in video cameras, but doesn't back up that claim at all. The only documented "spying" is through data collection on viewer habits and recording of commands for voice recognition. 
So, you better throw away that voice remote, Roku with voice app, Echo, Google Home or any other voice-interface system if you are so worried.

There were some TVs sold with cameras in them. Not sure any are sold that way today. I'd think that would be a negative.
On edit: From 2012/13 Samsung 8000 and 9000 series, 4 models in each. LG 55LA8600 and 60LA8600. Samsung UN65JS9500.
Useful for Skype. I can see that.
Look into "Weeping Angel."

Absolutely there is proof. Google Weeping Angel and CIA. Or go to The Verge and look. Swing a dead cat and hit a dozen links. Some claim it may not have been deployed, others believe it was.
Thank, or blame, Wikileaks.
