! Title: Smart-TV Blocklist for AdGuard Home (by Dandelion Sprout) ! Version: 13July2023v2 ! Description: This is a blocklist to block smart-TVs sending metadata back home, sometimes with the added benefit of blocking interface ads for apps and movie services. ! Please help to collect domains! ! It could occur that the TV fails to receive new updates, or that other apps or services no longer work. Please report such an incident. ! This list version is for AdGuard Home only. If you use Pi-Hole, you must instead use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/SmartTV.txt and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/regex.list !
