Technically when you turn the TV on for the first time, ACR is not enabled. Ergo, not enabled by default.

Sure, to use the TV you need to go past the EULA screen. And the button right in front of you, pre-selected - is agree to all terms. And after pressing OK, you now have ACR turned on. But you did that, it wasn't on by default.

Okay I can take my soul sucking corporate hat off now.

Soul sucking is right.

Its looks like the sort of stuff that happens to a tragic fantasy hero after a Faustian deal. Except they would've asked for riches, love or eternal youth, we on the other hand just want our middling-quality tv to work.

Yeah, that's why I only agreed to the minimal terms needed to use the tv, everything else is unchecked
