On: Smart TVs Track More Than What’s on Tonight

A Pi-hole is the only real solution for this as far as I can tell if you still want to use apps on your TV like Netflix. I use a Pi-hole as well with several block list sources, my favorite being Steven Black's hosts: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

A simple workaround for nefarious vendors is to ignore your DHCP-provided resolver address and just punch through to their own resolver. Maybe over SSL is they're really sneaky.

You need to firewall addresses ( tricky ), or connect to a LAN-only Wifi, or don't connect at all.

Thanks for that link!

I haven't added a custom block list to my Pi-hole before, this looks more complicated than I would have hoped.

Okay, I see. Just use his hosts file to extend Pi-hole. Not so hard.
