I think a PiHole wouldn't work cause the ads come from the same place as the videos

Samsung, AFAIK, doesn't have a streaming service so that doesn't matter.

We weren't talking about ADs on some streaming service, we're talking about ADs displayed on the TV from Samsung themselves

Also, AD proxying with content isn't always guaranteed, I've seen YT do it ofc

I was reading “Active Directory” and it made it all the more glorious.

Not sure about Samsung devices but I've got a few Rokus and my pihole does a great job of blocking ads.

They still push "promotions" into the menus and every month I have to go through and turn them off, but I don't see ads in the UI.
