It might be useful to use a Pi-Hole to determine what type of DNS queries the tv is doing. 

I have no idea what Pi-Hole is but I'm off to ask my friend Google.  Thank you so much.

Hi there

I've had my LG WebOS SmartTV for a couple of months, but in the past week or so I've noticed it's really started eating up all my home's Internet bandwidth, even when I'm just watching FreeSat TV and not running any apps.  It's connected to my router using wired ethernet, so it's not a WiFi problem.

I can only assume that one the apps I've installed is suddenly decided to download a ton of data in the background.  But which one?

The only solution I can think of is to install my apps one-by-one until my bandwidth issue improves.  And that's what I'll do.

But I found this forum, and thought I'd ask you good people if any of you had had a similar experience.

Here's the apps I've got installed:

• BritBox
• BBC iPlayer
• Spotify
• YouTube
• Amazon Prime Video
• NowTV
• AppleTV

Thanks in advance for any tips
