Sick of smart TVs? Here are your best options
How would you block ads on such a TV? The problem is you still cannot connect it to the internet without unknown privacy intrusion... Maybe to the LAN only? But then it's usefulness is still limited.

Block what? Which domains? How do you know what the TV will connect to?

Block everything except for what you want. For e.g. block everything but Netflix.

It can be complicated when streaming companies use same cloud vendors and thus share same ip ranges as the traffic you want to protect yourself from.
