This is why you should never get a smart tv especially from Samsung, like what even is all this… They need analytics for every single component in the system lol
This was picked up using a pi hole, highly recommend installing one on your network
Questions:
Why did you get a smart tv? Well I got the TVs for free otherwise I would have gone with a more privacy friendly option.
The worst with those, is that they NEVER stop trying to call home when you block them. You better block those entries. The SmartTV ones are inclued in many Pihole compilation lists, but you can take that one to block it on your network via your router for example : https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/blob/master/SmartTV-AGH.txt (Also available as a host list).
Yeah no I get like 40,000 plus queries blocked a day just from the TVs we own like 4 though so 🤷♂️
And what’s worst is when your setting up the tv, they make you not block the domains cause they bind the terms of service you have to accept at the start with the domains. Similar to how Tesla does telemetry with their cars. Tesla binds music steaming and telemetry, etc
4 tvs? Why not use cheap monitors with cheap computers?
