I've really gotta look into pihole.
It’s really been great

I think it’s my LG TV. But it has its own service that I also block.
Here is the service from xfinity that I’m talking about. It’s relatively new to my network and has increased my blocked percentage by a lot. Mind you, I have 1,900,000+ domains on my blocklist
Are you using isp provided hardware?
My experience with said items has been poor. Literal open doors to your network.

Is every comment in the world supposed to cater to you? Are people allowed to add to discussions without consulting you first?
Yikes, I didn't know I was being hostile, sorry I hurt your feelings.

I’m using my xfinity router/modem in bridge mode to my router.

Is it adding to discussions or just posturing? Much like heavy's comment was about their issues, Lost_My_Mind's was also about their own situation. Why is the latter acceptable and the former not?
My assumption is not because it promotes discussion, but because it's something that's more people emotionally agree with.

You will never be forgiven!

I probably have some bad karma

So does your isp, and uses that for targeted ads. My pihole is constantly blocking a domain ran by xfinity that collects data for their targeted ad service
I don't think those two facts are related? Your isp doesn't need to connect to its servers from within your local network to track your internet usage. Something else in your network must be trying to connect to that domain

Pal, it’s way beyond bad karma at this point!!!

My ACL says my TV can't talk to the internet.
Solar systems have mobile modems in them to phone home
Cars have mobile modems in them to phone home
Maybe some TVs do too

No carrier has cell service at my house but maybe they will add a sat phone.

You sit down to relax, put on your favorite show, and settle in for a night of binge-watching. But while you’re watching your TV… your TV is watching you.
Smart TVs take constant snapshots of everything you watch. Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

Stupid TVs FTW. If you can’t buy them stupid, give them a WiFi lobotomy.

Nothing a jumper wire can’t fix

How does that help me though?
I think they are inviting you over to their place to watch some (dumb) TV?

I’ve never allowed my TV to have an active route to the internet since I bought it in 2019, it’s exclusively fed over HDMI by gaming consoles and an Apple TV.
The thing is, HDMI 1.4 added HEC, so what’s to prevent media players from serving as an Ethernet switch and providing an internet connection to TVs.

TVs are way too inexpensive for manufacturers to pay for modems, service fees, and bandwidth fees to collect this kind of data. They'd spend more paying for that cell connection over the lifetime of the TV than you paid for the product in the first place. Solar systems and cars that cost many tens of thousands of dollars are a completely different ballpark compared to a $500-1000 TV.

My TV is not a smart TV, it's not spying on me.
