I have a Samsung TV, albeit an older one. When I was looking into setting up pihole I had read that other users had a really hard time with Samsung TVs because apparently if the TV doesn’t receive a response from their servers, then it looks it up using a secondary, then tertiary DNS. So in order to block all the traffic you need to set up multiple pihole instances. Since I didn’t want to go through that hassle I ended up setting up just a single pihole and disconnecting the TV from my network. I used an old gaming pc plugged into it as a media center instead.
