In over 60% of the scenarios tested, the devices continued to communicate with the ACR technology server, which allows determining what the user is watching, including through devices connected to HDMI. However, scientists were unable to determine the content of the transmitted data due to encryption. On the LG, Sony, Amazon, and Dolby TVs we tested, disabling the feature completely stopped associated network traffic.
