My parents got a “smart” LG TV not too long ago, and I’ve been trying to make sure they keep it completely offline, but I have a feeling they’re going to give in soon. Planning on trying out a Pi-Hole tomorrow on their network
Keep it offline and don’t update it, Pi-Hole can help, but I wouldn’t count on it. I would also go with NextDNS. Suggest they get a device like an Apple TV and only use that. You can block most of LG’s domains router/DNS side.
What, you don’t know how to? What are you, a moron? Fuck you mean you’re just gonna say to do something and then not follow up with how to do it? That makes you an ashole.
If you feel up to it there’s the possibility of just lobotomizing the wifi on it. I did this with ours because I wanted to make sure it didn’t get any updates after we bought it and it works fine.

That’s what pihole does. Blocks on DNS level.
Block it at router level. Pihole nextdns are no different.

Ok then.
Go rebuild your own transmission.

No one’s doing that.
