It looks like RFID technology may enter your home entertainment realm. TiVo Inc. has filed a patent application for a personal video recorder (PVR) that recognizes viewer preferences through an RFID chip embedded in clothing, jewelry or "inserted somewhere [in] the user's body." (That's an interesting statement!) According to the company, the system would have a remote control designed to recognize the viewer's RFID tag closest to the PVR. The remote control identifies and notifies the multimedia device through the RFID chip in the person's clothing or body to tailor the media content to their preferences.

In other words, what you wear may ultimately decide what you watch. Hmmm…does this mean special outfits for particular shows? If I wear a replica football jersey, the TV will immediately tune to a football game? Or if I wear tattered jeans and a t-shirt I'll be switched over to "Lost"?
