# ORIGINAL from https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/blob/master/SmartTV-AGH.txt
! Title: Smart-TV Blocklist for AdGuard Home (by Dandelion Sprout's)
! Version: 6March2022v1
! 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 to collect 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.
! This list version is for AdGuard Home only. If you use Pi-Hole, you must instead use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/SmartTV.txt and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/regex.list
! Multiple brands
||smartclip.com^
||smartclip.net^
! Panasonic Viera & Panny TV
||myhomescreen.tv^
! If domains below are blocked, unable to use smart-TV apps like Netflix, Amazon Video, etc. as TV calls home for connection check
