//Title: Hisense / VIDAA DNS Clean TV Blocklist — Extended Annotated Edition
//Format: AdGuard Home / AdGuard DNS blocklist
//Maintainer: ipanalytics
//Purpose: Block advertising, recommendations, telemetry, and optional cloud services used by Hisense / VIDAA TVs.
//
//Syntax:
//  ||example.com^     = block the domain and all of its subdomains.
//  ! ||example.com^   = keep the rule documented in the file, but disabled.
//
//IMPORTANT:
//Hisense does not publicly document the exact purpose of every internal hostname.
//The annotations below are based on endpoint naming, earlier device tests,
//AdGuard Home DNS query logs, and observed VIDAA behavior.
//Where a purpose is not confirmed, the description explicitly says that it is inferred.
//
//2026 REAL-DEVICE TESTED UPDATE:
//The additional rules marked as observed below were captured from a current-generation
//Hisense / VIDAA television and are intentionally ACTIVE. Comment lines describe them,
//but the actual blocking lines do NOT begin with "!".

//
//=====================================================================
//GROUP 1 — ADVERTISING / IMPRESSIONS / PROMOTIONAL ASSETS
//=====================================================================
//
//This group blocks the most obvious advertising endpoints, campaign assets,
//impression reporting, shopping cards, and other promotional material.
//It normally produces the most visible cleanup of the VIDAA home screen.
//
//A possible side effect is delayed application artwork after startup:
//VIDAA may first render local placeholders, wait for a blocked remote resource,
//and load an alternative cached or fallback icon several seconds later.
