Is Verizon currently deploying set top boxes with built in microphones and cameras for future use? If so does anyone know what model set top boxes are so equipped? If the hardware is not in the current devices when does Verizon plan to roll out the new hardware containing the cameras and microphones?

Current Verizon STBs do not have cameras or microphones. Even if future ones did, it's doubtful they would work. Verizon can't get the basic function of their software right anyway, so I'm not concerned.
Thanks for your reply, good to know.

Besides, if there were a camera in the STB that's what they created masking tape for. The same applies for sound isolating material applied with said masking tape.
