The government spying is fine....they're a bunch of straight up guys, from the makers of The Cold War, death squads in Northern Ireland, IRS persecution, Obamathugcare, mass artificial starvation in Russia and China, the Gulag, the KGB(still called the KGB in Belorus - they have this whole 'retro' vibe going on, wonderful). Everything Hitler did was legal.
Corporations - bad guys that bring you your Apples, TV's, Radios, Cars, HP Slates and Desktops, Hitachi drives, Coca Cola. Yeah, I don't trust them not to want to make money for an instant.
But seriously, ever since Public Private Partnerships were invented in the 90's, the Government is the Corporations, the Corporations are the government.

Cell phone as well as telephone companies always know where you are and have a good idea what you're doing. Your average store-bought computer has been spying on you since the mid-1990's when the Internet really got going. TV cable boxes having been reporting on you since the 1980's when cable began. Nielsen ratings for TV began in 1950 practically as soon as television became widespread. Nielsen adapted TV ratings from radio ratings that began in the 1930's and which was adapted from market analysis in the 1920's. This has been happening for about 100 years or more. It should be no surprise that LG has jumped on the bandwagon.
Thus, there is no step too far. There is only the erosion of freedoms which you allow.

If true, that would be an invasion of my privacy. However, my LG TV is stupid and doesn't have an internet connection, so it can't send anything anywhere.

That's the reason number one why I don't connect any appliance that doesn't need it to the internet.

Reminds me of the Cold War joke:Q: "What's the difference between the USA and the USSR?" A:"In the USA people watch television. In the USSR television watches the people."

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it to say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore too long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lee ever wrong
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew

I have a sat decoder with a built in hdd that can record programs.
I've checked the recordings and they're saved as .ts or transportstreams, decoded with h264.
Now I just need a simple editor that's able to crop away the start and the beginning of the videos, preferably without recoding them, and save them as Mpeg2 files so that I can load up my wifes iPad with children movies.
Any suggestions?
PS.
This is fully legal where I live as long as I don't share them outside the family.

Hadn't met that one before, so I downloaded it - very naughty installer! First run of the app (from the "launch" installer option) immediately closed both Chrome and Firefox without any "please" or confirmation at all.
Twice. Once while I was writing this.
Good thing I wasn't in the middle of a long download or upload...

I don't remember it closing my browsers during installation. Probably something has changed. But I wouldn't care about it that much. I'm using Opera a browser that can resume downloads. But the important part about video converting software is video conversion for me. Feel free to hate this software. I'll be using it nevertheless.
