We recently blacklisted some of the IP’s that our LG tv was sending data to. I can’t believe the sheer number of requests logged in just 1 week! And what’s worse is LG is even denying it now

I run PiHole too, but note Adguard/PiHole do not block DNS over HTTP. If these Smart TV’s want to get nasty, and they already have beyond expectations, they could employ that tech or hardcore IP addresses.
If the Smart TV uses and hardcoded http DNS server, that must be blocked directly, sure. But that scenario is very unlikely.
They already do this. They have fallbacks, but is documented that they do this.
There are blocklists for that also. https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#bypass
Seems like it might be easiest to set up a dummy server. Let the device think it reached home.
