Samsung TVs are so horrible with spyware that it is best to keep them off the network and use an attached device like a Shield or Roku. This is also true with most other "smart TVs"


I understand the spyware part but one thing i noticed is that i dont get any ads which a lot of people I saw complaining about online. I think ads are location based and i'm outside their zone.


Do you have a pihole on your network?


no but from what I read Samsung uses their own hardcoded DNS on their TVs to bypass DNS filtering
