Apologies if this should be posted somewhere else.

I have had this TV for about 7 years and have never had this pop up before. About a month ago, I bought a router that uses OpenWRT. With that, I setup up Adguard and specifically one of the lists that is supposed to block devices from phoning home.

Am I nuts thinking that this pop up is due to the TV not being able to offload what has been recorded? How would I check that?

    yeah but nowhere near the video quality.

    I’ve had the same 40" LG OLED TV for like 15 years now, and I want to get myself a new big 4k OLED 65" behemoth for Christmas this year. I looked up hospitality TVs of that size and whoo boy, they’re like $3-4k. But you can get a regular TV that size and spec for like $1k.

    I have no open Wifi in my house or nearby, I plan on just using it as a second monitor for my computer, and never connecting it to anything beyond my soundbar. Then just hope that it doesn’t brick itself I guess.

      Yeah, I would expect those thingies to also have much better quality internals, that are less probable to cause the kinds of problems that might happen in industrial environments.

      I would expect it to start nagging you and then eventually degrade into unusability. Which is why I won’t buy such snitch devices.
