I ran Wireshark to capture traffic from my LG C5 and the only "scanning" it did was SSDP. Did they post any written article with further information on what it's doing? Most if not all of what was detailed in the video can be opted out of;

Gamer Nexus, who uncovered this, has a 2 hour episode about it https://youtu.be/Q9uefFYe6bM
Why should we have to opt out of our devices spying on our LAN?

They do a lot more than just scan the network.
I love how this is showing you an ad for a LG tv at the end of the article. Priceless.
