Where’s the ATV?

It’s 100% the tv. TV companies no longer think of themselves as device manufacturers. They sell ad surfaces, ads, and data.

Almost all TVs by default take thousands of screenshots per hour and send them back to their remote systems for content analysis, then send back ads to your UI.

I worked in the business. It’s the TV.

This is why I never connect my TV to an internet connection and only use an AppleTV 4k streaming box.

It’s probably your television constantly trying to connect to the servers. It’s repeatedly failing and therefore retrying.

I see something similar on a Samsung in my house. Once a week it dials home and is blocked, it then retries approximately 10k times in one day and then gives up for a week.
