Samsung Smart TV sending images to ORF (Austrian TV)

Browsing through my Fortigate’s DLP logs on the FortiAnalyzer, I run into an alert of jpg images being sent to http://orfhbbtv.orf.at (194.232.116.165).

All Smart TVs are spying on us but sending images?

Anyway google, bing or whatever search engine you use how to turn on the privacy setting on your TV.

When I did that I did not notice any further internet sending but to be on the safe side I placed a firewall rule to deny the TV to access towards ORF:

Also, if you are using pihole, you can add this block list.
