How do I turn off Use info from TV inputs on the Hisense Roku TV (R6/R7 series)?

Roku TVs, all firmware: Press the Home button on the remote, then open Settings. Open Privacy. Open Smart TV experience. Highlight "Use info from TV inputs" and press OK to clear the check box.

Does the Hisense Roku TV (R6/R7 series) have ACR?

Yes.

Yes. It runs Roku OS and the fingerprinting is on unless you turned it off. The toggle is "Use info from TV inputs" and "Smart TV experience".

Roku TVs (TCL, Hisense, onn, Roku-branded) fingerprint HDMI and antenna inputs to power Roku's ad business. Roku calls it "Smart TV experience". Roku streaming sticks do not have this because they cannot see other inputs, but they still track app usage.

How to turn it off

Paths are listed newest firmware first. The year on the box is the fastest guide. If a menu is missing, try the next path down.

Applies to Roku TVs, all firmware

Roku's menu runs down the left of the home screen. Settings is the last item.

Roku opens one column at a time, moving right. The list you came from stays on the left.

Only Roku televisions have this row. A streaming stick cannot see your other inputs, so it has nothing to fingerprint and nothing here to switch off.

Both are tick boxes. An empty box is the finished state, and Roku does not confirm it any other way.

Other switches

Ads, recommendations and voice each have their own toggle. None of them are covered by the main switch.

Applies to All Roku devices

Settings > Privacy > Advertising: check "Limit ad tracking"
Settings > Privacy > Microphone: set to "Never allow" or per channel
Settings > Privacy > Smart TV Experience: uncheck "Enable auto notifications"

What the switch does not cover

Roku streaming sticks and boxes: telemetry only, no screen ACR. Treat the sticks as "telemetry", the TVs as "acr".

Make sure it stays off

The free app scans your Wi-Fi and confirms the verdict for every set in the house. The Box blocks the servers above at the network level and tells you if a firmware update turns tracking back on.
