In this video I break down the fastest, no-jargon way to cut down smart TV tracking: change your TV’s DNS to a privacy-friendly option. A lot of people don’t realize how much data a TV can phone home, so I focus on a practical fix you can actually do in a couple minutes—no extra hardware, no apps, no complicated setup. My go-to free option here is AdGuard DNS, and I give you the exact DNS numbers to type in. I walk you through the same general process across different TV menus: go to Network settings, open IP settings, switch DNS from Automatic to Manual, then enter the DNS server. I also cover variations you’ll see on different brands like “Advanced Wi‑Fi settings,” “Configure DNS,” or switching IP settings to “Static” so you can enter DNS1 and DNS2. If you want an extra layer, I also mention AdGuard’s Family Filter DNS that blocks adult content. The takeaway is simple: set the DNS correctly and you’ll reduce tracking and clean up a lot of unwanted ad/telemetry calls at the network level.
