Unknown device is disconnected

If you are seeing this message while watching Apple TV, it is probably coming from your TV, not the Apple TV itself. I found that if you have an LG TV and you are seeing "Unknown device is disconnected" repeatedly, it is likely the wifi board in your TV is broken. They can be replaced for around $35.

Posting this here because the other forum message about this now closed.

Apple TV popup stating that "Bluetooth Device" requires additional information to connect to this network. I was on the bus recently and there was an Apple TV popup stating that "Bluetooth Device" requires additional information to connect to this network. I‘ve never owned an Apple TV in my life and accendetally clicked continue. Also there was a popup asking if I want to autofill a password. I‘ve attached images of this. Is there anything to worry about?

Unauthorised access trying to make purchases using Apple TV BOX Hi all Today I received a Confirm Purchase alert popping up on my iPhone. The only problem is I haven’t bought any streaming services of late. I clicked on the box and it took me to confirm a $9.99 Apple TV family subscription. Naturally, I did not confirm on my iPhone with a double click. This purchase confirm box kept coming up. I kept declining the purchase. I was told by FB friends a hacker must have got into my APPLE TV box and was attempting to enable subscription services there. I was told to sign off and change my password on all devices. I am now signed off in all devices and have entered a new password into iPhone and iPad. I want to check general security of the LG TV and change my network modem password before entering the new password. The confirm purchase window was coming from Living Room which my Apple TV is listed as. Has anyone experienced this problem before of someone trying to hijack your Apple TV and experiencing display confirmation of purchases popping up on your iPhone? is there anything else I should be doing? I’ve checked for weird applications and mobile use, and nothing seems out of the ordinary. Any help would be useful as this was quite a scary experience. DigitalArchivist
