Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
dan@upvote.au 9 hours agoOh sorry, I completely forgot to mention that. I’m using an Nvidia Shield for all my streaming.
Another approach is to connect the TV to the internet but block all LG/Samsung/whatever stuff, for example by using a firewall on your router.

Oh that’s neat with Nvidia shield!
I currently do the pi-hole and block calls route.

Some newer TVs are starting to have hard-coded DNS servers, which means they’ll bypass most PiHole configurations.
You could try configure your router to redirect all DNS traffic (UDP port 53) to your PiHole server, but that won’t work of they’re using DoH (DNS over HTTPS) which is becoming more and more common.
