Description

A recent article on ZDNet talks about how modern TVs monitor your viewing habits using ACR (automatic content recognition) and why that could be a problem for you. The article also explains how to disable ACR in various makes of TVS, but the instructions don't always match the TV's menu system. Scott Wilkinson talks about this important issue.
