I've TCL android TV and using Pi-Hole for Local DNS. couple of days back TV firmware updated overnight and since then it is requesting Biadu domain frequently, sometimes it just fluds pi hole with baidu dns queries.

there isn't any baidu app installed or there isn't any browser active.

and looks like TCL collected ton of telemetry data using my7v.com api

i'll just go by and block the domain and move on but i want know why it is asking that freqnetly and what kind of data it is collecting.

Any of you guys encountered this?
