My parents got a “smart” LG TV not too long ago, and I’ve been trying to make sure they keep it completely offline, but I have a feeling they’re going to give in soon. Planning on trying out a Pi-Hole tomorrow on their network
If you feel up to it there’s the possibility of just lobotomizing the wifi on it. I did this with ours because I wanted to make sure it didn’t get any updates after we bought it and it works fine.
Keep it offline and don’t update it, Pi-Hole can help, but I wouldn’t count on it. I would also go with NextDNS. Suggest they get a device like an Apple TV and only use that. You can block most of LG’s domains router/DNS side.

Don’t forget to root it

That’s what pihole does. Blocks on DNS level.
Block it at router level. Pihole nextdns are no different.
