Hi!
If time.samsungcloudsolution.com is blocked, your TV will request "pool.ntp.org" or "worldtimeserver.com" as you can see in this screenshot:
I don't say that you're wrong about the fact that blocking this domain is useless but I just remind that it doesn't break any feature.
(Btw, maybe time.samsungcloudsolution send also weird date such as telemetry (while ntp don't do that) but that's just a hypothesis...)
Hey,
I looked into this to block ads on my Smart TV, and found that some lines are duplicated while others won't work.
Example. This line will likely block everything under the domain, including the
time.samsun..

It makes sense to me that if
samsungcloudsolution.com
is blocked, thentime.samsungcloudsolution.com
is also blocked. And if that's the case, then the other*.samsungcloudsolution.com
entries aren't needed.I found this as
time.samsungcloudsolution.com
was blocked when it shouldn't be. :)
