# Title: Smart-TV Blocklist for Pi-hole # Version: 13July2023v1 # 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 with collecting 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. # Make sure to also use the extra RegEx list at https://perflyst.github.io/PiHoleBlocklist/regex.list, which helps remove regional LG ad domains among other things. # Panasonic Viera & panny tv 0077777700140002.myhomescreen.tv cert-test.sandbox.google.com collect.myhomescreen.tv usage.myhomescreen.tv collect-us-fy2014.myhomescreen.tv collect-us-fy2015.myhomescreen.tv collect-us-fy2016.myhomescreen.tv collect-us-fy2017.myhomescreen.tv collect-us-fy2018.myhomescreen.tv collect-us-fy2019.myhomescreen.tv collect-us-fy2020.myhomescreen.tv collect-us-fy2021.myhomescreen.tv collect-us-fy2022.myhomescreen.tv collect-eu-fy2014.myhomescreen.tv collect-eu-fy2015.myhomescreen.tv collect-eu-fy2017.myhomescreen.tv collect-eu-fy2016.myhomescreen.tv collect-eu-fy2018.myhomescreen.tv collect-eu-fy2019.myhomescreen.tv collect-eu-fy2020.myhomescreen.tv collect-eu-fy2021.myhomescreen.tv collect-eu-fy2022.myhomescreen.tv usage-eu-fy2014.myhomescreen.tv usage-eu-fy2015.myhomescreen.tv usage-eu-fy2016.myhomescreen.tv usage-eu-fy2017.myhomescreen.tv usage-eu-fy2018.myhomescreen.tv usage-eu-fy2019.myhomescreen.tv usage-eu-fy2020.myhomescreen.tv usage-eu-fy2021.myhomescreen.tv usage-eu-fy2022.myhomescreen.tv usage-us-fy2014.myhomescreen.tv usage-us-fy2015.myhomescreen.tv usage-us-fy2016.myhomescreen.tv usage-us-fy2017.myhomescreen.tv usage-us-fy2018.myhomescreen.tv usage-us-fy2019.myhomescreen.tv usage-us-fy2020.myhomescreen.tv usage-us-fy2021.myhomescreen.tv usage-us-fy2022.myhomescreen.tv #mhc-ajax-eu.myhomescreen.tv #
