I've been using my pi-hole as my DNS and then also firewall blocking the TV from phoning out on port 53 in case the manufacturer has hardcoded DNS. Though I agree with the point and I shouldn't have to do this. This is just mitigation.

I'm surprised they haven't switched to using DoH, which would prevent this from working.

At the very least, i would assume the majority of folks here were pi-holing devices on their network.
