"Spot test" goes back at least one year and affects multiple markets.

    Would it not make sense for them to? Since they make budget televisions, they have to subsidise the cost somehow.

    Either that, or because they’re so budget, you’d expect them to cheap out on the electronics and not bother with anything that sophisticated compared to a bare-minimum chip.

      The TVs absolutely have automated content recognition. They use Unruly and nexxen.

      https://nexxen.com/nexxen-vidaa/

      I also stumbled across a diagram lately that showed how this data eventually flowed into displaying ads for medical products. The size of this platform behind the scenes would be huge.
