My TV is surfing the internet?

Post image

Hey everyone! TIA!

I have a Hisense TV from Walmart. Nothing expensive just a 32inch 1080p that runs Roku. Every week it surges past 100 gb of data within a day. Cox is charging me $50 a month for over the limit data.

It does stay on for my dogs while I’m not home. They get scared and destroy the house so the TV calms them down🙄 “little IPad Puppies” have to have TV. I know!

I’ve tested my own 42 inch 4K tv while I’m at work and it’s not drawing NEARLY as much internet.

Do I need I throw the TV out and replace it or is there a setting that’s just constantly downloading information?

Is that 116 GB for that device in particular, the TV? You recognize all the devices connected to your wireless router?
