This article inspired me to look into blocking more of androidtv crap. I have raspberry pi running android tv with lineage kongs image and it’s fully functional snappy and works great. Liked it so much when it was time to get a TV I opted for an Android TV based one, what I was using on that tv was a android tv that was bloated and slow to the point of an annoyingly laggy interface, sometimes even failing to load apps sometimes without launching it twice. Turns out I added an additional domain to my pihole that blocks the discoverability crap. Now my home screen looks more like my raspberry Pi’s and my tvs interface is so much more responsive. This is such a pain in the ass. I don’t understand how non tech people put up with ads all day.
