That exists, it's called a pi-hole, and it's very popular. It will block the 'tv spy' apps.

I thought of pi-hole but I’m not sure it is dead simple. I’m thinking a box that your incoming internet connections connects to and an outgoing connection to your wifi router.

The market probably isn’t big enough yet, but I’ll bet it grows. I mean _Texas_ is bringing it up!
