There seems to be continual publicity about Smart TVs and embedded spyware. I run adamONE permissively, but are there any filters I can use to block Smart TV’s from spying?
While my focus has been avoiding commercials, I expect that I’ve blocked some spying too. I have seen, but didn’t note, several on line articles on how to set your TV to reduce the spying. I have also found two sites that provide site blocking advice..
The first of these is specific to DirecTV: https://kurtsthoughts.com/2021/10/02/howto-stoppaused-tv-ads-when-using-directv-genie-dvr/
The second is a good attempt at broad coverage: GitHub - darthvader666uk/blocklists: AdGuard Home + uBlock Origin filter lists, and the plugblock appliance · GitHub . I worked from a previous site by the same person and haven’t checked this new site for changes, but my block list works well (e.g. no commercials).
I suggest testing while applying the blocks. I’ve found one recommended block that break basis functions and one that prevented initial setup. And, of course, as the company’s setup changes you may need retesting.
