It seems to be related to some advertising push from a partner named Alfonso that is gathering information cross-platform anything that appears on your screen and pushing advertising to you during playback.
Hopefully not, but that’s what it looks like from early reading.
To be honest I would, the more they think you can fix anything the more annoying they are about fixing everything even if it’s not even possible. From my experiences in the past I just would tell them there was a update and it stopped the TV from connecting to online and there’s nothing you can do about it
