I’ve noticed that when I power off my Sony x930e, it starts opening more and more tcp connections to Google owned ip addresses on 5228 and 443. In an hour it opened closed to 100 and never closes the ones on 5228, even after I power the TV back on. Basically the number of open connections on port 5228 keeps growing and growing until I reboot the TV or unplug the Ethernet cable.

I also notice that the TV is refreshing it’s IP address via DHCP at least once every 10 minutes when in standby. Usually it’s every few minutes. This despite the lease time being set to 24 hours on my router.

I first saw this problem a few months ago, but it eventually seemed to resolve itself, but now under the last war Sony Oreo update (6.6510), it’s back with a vengeance as it’s worse then ever. It used to take 24 hours to open 100 connections.

At some point the TV appears to stop listening for ip control requests or remote start commands (can’t turn on with Google Home or Alexa), likely because all the connections are used up.

Any ideas what’s going on here or how to resolve this?
