It does help a bit, but most stuff I watch on my TV with ads (Hulu, YouTube, and YouTube TV) don’t work unless the ads are unblocked as well :’(
Comment on I want an AI TV that blocks all forms of advertising.

I run my tv through my pihole. It doesn’t take out everything, but it’s a good start.

Any issues with content not coming through like it should when using that? My household uses youtube apps on roku, and i have a feeling i would just mess that up if i employ a pihole since youtube serves ads on the same servers as content.

My YouTube is ad free, although that isn’t the pihole as far as i know. The most noticable effect is lack of ads in Samsung apps like the broadcast tv guide. I will say that Samsung is a bunch of assholes since they try to process more than 1000 requests per minute and i see that in the pihole log.
