We recently blacklisted some of the IP’s that our LG tv was sending data to. I can’t believe the sheer number of requests logged in just 1 week! And what’s worse is LG is even denying it now

    Can you see data up/down? be interesting to know(or get more confirmation) if its sending ‘large’ media like audio files, and not just polling for e.g. ad flags, available updates etc

      It’s transcribing audio locally (ever when offline) and uploads the text files after it’s reconnected

      Also, it can hear like 60 feet and further

      Source is the recent Gamers Nexus investigation into LG TVs

        Love how these shitboxes can capture up to a screenshot every second, transcribe audio, and network all of that back to the supplier but the goddamn menu takes 5 seconds to open and lags when navigating
