alt Hacker NewsNone of the manufacturers who answered that question admitted to using ACR via screenshot. LG uses audio samples, which is basically the same. Google admitted that some of their hardware OEMs may install ACR. Sony and Hisense didn't answer, but have both been reported to use ACR. The TCL TVs that come with Roku I assume do it as well.

Wait did they claim to not use screenshots during ACR generation? Or did they claim they don't _store_ screenshots.
I think they're using "collect" to mean something specific and "store" to mean something specific, neither of which fit our definition of collect and store.

They definitely do, I have a little snippet on their image recognition ACR from when I hacked my Roku TV here: https://blog.ammaraskar.com/roku-tv-philips-hues/#reverse-en...
