Spin up pihole and just look at the data coming to your “smart” TV’s even when you are not using them. Then consider the data they must be sending home, the only thing “smart” TVs are good at is watching you watch them (or not watching them). I would highly recommend getting a pi or media computer for your TV’s.
I do not think I can stress this enough smart TV’s are not smart for you they are smart for whoever made the TV. Manufactures sell TV’s at a loss now because they get more by selling you.
I have an Nvidia Shield stick that's android based and one day Google started pushing live Taco Bell ads to it on the ambient Home Screen. That was the last day pi-hole ever let it phone home.
Been looking at this for years, Fam is absolutely refusing to use a keyboard in the living room. They'll watch on their phones first. I can't find a clear, easy solution to run a quality remote on a SFF pc. It's like the decades old mediacenter hole that never gets filled.
Agreed. Watching the queries on the pi-hole dashboard has been eye-opening.
