LG TV logging filenames from network folders

Thanks, was looking for a list like this. I've blocked them all via DNS, hopefully doesn't break anything too important.

What sort of communication between your TV and these domains would you feel is important?

I don't specifically know the services the TV expects from those domains but:

You may want to receive software updates for the TV.

You may also want to access services that the are launched by the LG apps. Those services may only run correctly when the appropriate pre-roll advertising (quite possibly from Smartclip) are allowed to play.

Why not just blocking traffic originating from the device in question?

That's okay for some, but many people use the built in apps for Netflix, Livefilm etc.
