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?

    I recently bought a smart TV with google because it was more responsive than other TV’s on display. After I got it home, connected it to the internet, and updated everything it slowed so much that it’s unbearable to use now. There is a 2-5 second delay for every button press including changing the volume.

      Maybe a factory reset (hopefully) will bring back the original firmware.
