LG TV Endless PTR Queries

As soon as this OLED is turned on we get all these PTR queries and reverse looking up these IP's are all around the world. The TV is never used as surfing the WEB and only used in streaming services without a VPN. Is this TV Hijacked?

Why don't you grant access to it's mother?

Pihole is an ad blocker, no firewall.

Your looking at those IPs wrong. These messages display the IP in reverse order so these are all from 192.168.50.XXXX network.

The TV appears to trying to find the names of network clients. That is what a PTR request is asking - "what is the name of the client at this IP which is listed in reverse order".

Example:

nslookup 192.168.0.100
100.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa      name = Pi-3B-plus.
