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?

Great advice which is completely inapplicable to the person you are giving it to, considering they already set their TV up ages ago.

And the advice to anyone about to get a new Samsung or LG TV is "Don't."

    get a new Samsung or LG TV is “Don’t.”

    I have seen the answer to that...

    The person absolutely wants 4K 50" for some reason and monitors that come for that much are industrial ones that cost 5x as much.
    I am more than happy with 27" and don't even require 4K, so MSI, ViewSonic etc work well.

    Dumb video projectors are a thing.

    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.
