It also showed up when connected via wifi, but not nearly like this. Before it would come on during channel changes, UI navigation, etc. Now, it stays on when playing back live TV, and nothing else.
If the lightning bolt is appearing then your power supply is inadequate. The Pi is receiving less that 4.63V which is out of spec.
With incorrect voltage then any number of failures are possible including ethernet/wifi dropouts and instability.
You'll have to resolve that issue before debugging further as it may be the only cause of the problems you are seeing.
This would be a known good power supply to try (although many others are fine).
