Samsung actually released a TV app to tell you what it's doing:

Which is nice, in a way, but it'd be better if they just didn't.
I'd be much more trusting of Apple TV being connected to the Internet than with a smart TV.

It seems to work well. https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/blob/master/SmartTV.txt https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/blob/master/Smar...

- bitwize 6y agoThat is a bad alternative, as in no alternative at all really. I don't want a device that requires me to do network engineering to prevent it from doing things I didn't ask for or want.
