My question is: Can you block the IPs it’s phoning home to without breaking other TV functions, like OS/app updates, etc? Is there a list of IPs available for smart TVs specifically that keep the fingerprint from being received by the mfg?

    Most simply don’t care. Don’t think there is a turn-key solution. Just look up pihole and take it from there.

      Again, not an issue for tech savvy people (that cares). Privacy should be available for everybody.

        Agreed, yet here we are.

        So two choices: accept the call home or fix it yourself and learn something new. There are plenty step by step guides.
