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?

I just disconnected my samsung tv from my wifi yesterday because it had a popup it was doing a software update. It was already substantially laggier than when I bought it. Whenever I use it I'm either playing a game or using the pi I have plugged into it so I just want it to switch inputs quickly. Only reason I hadn't killed it yet in my transition to FOSS is because my wife uses it for netflix. Maybe we'll use this as a good break point to get her off the netflix subscription completely. I die a little inside when I see it on my credit card statement.
