Trying to watch the game and do i really want to stare at this BS?

No google. I don't want your data mining creep. But of course you're going to make it difficult to remove your intrusion without breaking. I know it's bad just by the fact that i am unable to remove the message. And there is a timer for how long you long press as proof that i know what i am doing when i decide to sell my soul.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this trash without actually trashing my tv?

I have been trying to find some motivation to get into the pi-hole game. And that Earl Grey project looks intetesting.

If your router has basic blocking features, you can manually configure domains to be blocked.

Some routers even allow to block all internet access for a specific device which might be easier to set up

In that case why connect the TV to the network to begin with?

For LAN stuff

Also some TVs nag you everytime you switch them on, if they're not connected to a network and start the connection assistant...
