Guys, recently I made another video about SMART TVs. Let's go to another level of ADS blocking with even SMARTer TV >> ruclips.net/video/l_j8mxRxDtU/видео.html
I have a Vizio Smartcast E55-E1 I tried both sets of DNS servers, the first one made no change. The second one caused serious lag, intermittent connection and still showed ads...😫 I had high hopes!
@@ShadowofTheAlmighty hmm noticed that this method is not helping for apps like YT, NETFLIX, etc. due to HOW those ads are handle by the service [basiccly ads and content we want to watch is coming from the same location/address and that's causing DNS like adguard to fail. What app are U using to watch content? The good news is you have a TV with an android system and that's giving a HUGE advantage. You could install apps like VANCED or a different launcher for your SMART TV. Unfortunately, I do not have TV with the android system to test this out.
@@ShadowofTheAlmighty very interesting. thx for your comment. I just read many positive comments about this app and few reviews. Looks like it is a VPN with the adblocking feature. So in theory works exactly the same as Adguard DNS [but maybe it's better]. The price is fair as well. But everyone used that to block ads while browsing internet, the same job can do uBlock Origin. Are U using this maybe with your TV? share your experience with us about this app. Thx!
@@hardwin82 one drawback I've began noticing while using the app - it tends to lose connection pretty frequently and it will clear cache on some apps, making you have to sign in to open the app, occasionally...😒
This will only work if you have a TV with an Advanced network settings, if not you'll have to change the DNS in your router, which most provided routers don't have an option. Thank you LG for having that option!
@@dumitrelmihai1234 Ok, i'm not alone. I followed every step and I wrote the new DNS but still have adds on You Tube with my new LG Nano Cell. Maybe it was good 1 year ago but not now...for me !
Bro literally I have been trying a way to block ads on TV for more than 4 months no cap 😭 and found your vid tried it and it WORKS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN YOU ROCK!!🤟🤟🤟
You got it! You undestand how to present information in the ... " a step by step guide for the complete idiot" for all us out there like me. Thank you!
@@jonask9439 I cant remember how I got it to stick in DNS but I did but later realized it was only minimal at best and changed it back to my ISP DNS. I have moved onto a Raspberry Pi DNS Ad blocker (Blocks Ads for every device on your network) I added to many block lists to that at first like 3 million and blocked many of my websites I frequent so I took a bunch out its better but not a perfect solution either.
Thank you, Adam... It brilliantly worked on our LG OLED smart TV. I've just changed the DNS server numbers and all the ads have gone now. I enjoy watching online ad free TV. Many thanks for sharing this video!
This actually worked! I honestly did it fully believing that it’ll fail but I had free time on my hand. I needed to stop the ads from game apps on my Samsung TV and this fully sorted it out 😂 It’s odd because you get like a black screen for a couple of seconds as if the app is trying to connect or display an ad but fails. Then the game continues and no ads. Cheers mate! I’m not big on commenting but you bloody deserve the positive feedback!
The RUclips app currently, is a fucking MESS with ads. I watch longer videos to try and nap during the day after work. During the first 25 mins, I was hit with 6 different ad rolls. That's INSANE. It's noticeably increased on the TV app than other sources such as your PC or phone/tablet. I turned off what I was watching and switched to an age restricted video, as those don't have ads. It's ridiculous. RUclips ads are extremely intrusive and they wonder why people use ad blockers. We all know Google are trying to spam ads so much that you pull out your wallet for premium.
What other relevant information is required to block ads? I changed the DNS on my Samsung settings but nothing happened. Is there a truly systematic way of getting control over this without patch-work fixes? 1. I see lower down the suggested DNS keeps evolving. 1.1 How can I track that and keep it up to date? 1.2 Why doesn't any randomly selected DNS work? Why only a specified one? 1.3 What does the suggested DNS link to? 2. The TV uses my RUclips Account which also links to my Samsung phone and google chrome. 2.1 I have also switched off ads in this setting but it also did nothing. 3. Ad Blocking software 3.1 Do you recommend its use? What are pros and cons? Thanks for your information.
man, this subject is getting more and more complicated. Technology is changing so fast, old methods stop working and new methods appear every single day. The truth is...this requires a multilayer approach. There is no ONE method out there working in 100%. At the end of the day is all about what service are U using. Is it Netflix, is it Roku, is it just YT ... and from now on you need to focus on that ONE thing, how to block ads on this one service. Those big companies are not stupid, they see a "new method how to stop ads" and they are on it. That's why people are so frustrated why it's not working, this is fake, etc. But the good news is...whatever the problem in the IT world is there is a SOLUTION, maybe not NOW but will be tomorrow. When I was doing my first video about blocking ads that method was working like a charm. It still works but not like it was before. That's why I made another video and another only about HOW TO BLOCK ADS. All those methods I represented are great but again...they will not cover everything. What I am doing every day? 1-I am not using apps built in a SMART TV. 2-I have a small computer connected to the TV via HDMI cable and I watch all the content from there. 3-that computer has a DNS server+firewall+brave browser+ads blocking plugins. 4.I found an online service that I am happy with [content, quality, etc] and I watch content from there. I am doing everything to avoid using apps like Netflix, YT etc. YOU need to have control of them, not the opposite. have a look here: ruclips.net/video/l_j8mxRxDtU/видео.html from 22m. Basically, this is what I am doing. hopes this will help. thx for the comment mate and if U want to talk more I'm here. cheers!
My god and I thought my ads were annoying. I only get a banner ad on the home page and an ad whenever my tv is in screensaver mode. Mind you i have a different tv but still
OMG this is so cool !!! I still have some occasional adds, I suppose it cannot realistically eradicate every add possible, but 99% of the time I have no add gosh thank you so much
This won't automatically block all advertisements. Only the ones that are inserted by the service providers. For ads that are baked in for product sponsorship like on Linus Tech Tips, you skip those by pausing the video, scrubbing past their ads, pressing play where you think they are done talking about some razor or whatever else. While scrubbing with either the remote control, your finger, mouse, you will still see a thumbnail version of the ad in the playback status bar. A nice way to seek the parts you are looking for or looking to avoid. But the audio is muted during this type of seek operation. The other option is to avoid using the LAN port on the TV itself. Instead, use the HDMI input to connect to your computer. Then, using Firefox, you go into settings to add "AD Block +" to that browser. It will get rid of all the ads from RUclips that are not baked in. You also have the benefit of not revealing what you're watching to the company that made your "smart" TV. So no more spyware.
Thank you. Took a lot of tries and back and forth - but think it worked. The BACKGROUND MUSIC was very distracting for me. Please please tone down for future good video advice. Subscribed
I’ve got a Sony Bravia 2023 and on Prime , from 3 ads it dropped down to one 15:25 sec . So it helps… still looking to get them down completely! If u have any updates let me know bro
I think on average before I see the end of the timer, adverts take about 5 mins. The issue is that every advertiser increases the volume on the TV because they know your OFF to the kitchen to make a 'cuppa' to get away, so 'UP' goes the volume. So in answer a device to recognise the volume increase is needed because I believe its as SOON as the adverts initiate
I have lg oled. Advanced settings is greyed out, so I can't choose this. Can you advise? I did manage to get to DNS settings and changed to what you advise, I still see adverts here in UK unfortunately.
have a look here: droidtheory.com/fix-lg-tv-settings-and-options-greyed-out/ Looks like it's a common problem. Probably updating the firmware will be necessary.
RUclips still showed me ads the first time i opened a video, but it worked after, seems to be a noticibly less ads overall. Also thanks for the lesson on programing lol
Hmmm interesting, others here are just saying that it doesnt work for YT. I also feel like it might work, same as you 1 ad at the start still but the constant ads during videos seem to be gone. Maybe :D
My Tv doesn't have a DNS option (it's a built in Roku). So I tried to do this DNS change on my router and once I press apply, it resets my netgear modem/router combo and then it goes back to an auto populated DNS (primary and secondary). Is my ISP not allowing me to change it?? So then I tried again and made your DNS the primary and google's 1111 the secondary and 0000 for the third, and now it says "invalid tertairy dns". So I'm not sure it won't let me change the DNS, I'm assuming my ISP has it locked I guess; because even when it looks like it's going to change, it just resets back to some auto populated numbers. Edit: I tried it again, without the 0000 and now it works. And the Roku on the TV has NO ADS now. lol.. You're a GOD. it worked
thank you, this works so well on samsung smart tv. maybe not so much on channel 4 but i will check out your other videos. it seemed to have shortened the ads on you tube but not stopped completely but i will work on that.
Thumbs up on an informative video. I despise ads like many others but I have no where near the time wasted like the sample shown on your video. 6 ads, 2 minutes is madness. The ads I get are about 14 seconds and then it shows a button to cancel the next one and resume the show. But they pop up out of nowhere cutting off the show. Even though the show continues right away it's like listening to a song skip and interrupts my chain of thought. On one youtube video they kept popping up every 3 minutes at one point! This DNS# didn't work for me on all channels, not RUclips and Tubi, but it seemed to work on Exite, the 80s music video channel. I have a new Samsung smartTV which I don't call smart because I want easy watching TV, not all the hassles and gadgets. Anyway a bigger problem I have is I can't connect my computer on this TV to use as a monitor. I want to use the big screen for internet surfing/streaming, emails etc. It doesn't see my HDMI to VGA adapter like my other 2018 smart TV did. Do you have a video that helps for this? I tried HDMI 1 and 2 and the icon on the TV displays an "unknown" message on both.
thx man. This whole situation with ads is getting ridiculous. I'm afraid we will end up like heroes from the TV series *Black Mirror* episode * Fifteen Million Merits*. I am happy that this method works with some of the apps that you are using. Unfortunately, it's not working in some cases like YT. I made this video more than a year ago and now things are different. A multilevel approach is necessary. That's why I made 3 different videos about this/3 methods. But those companies are not stupid, there is a new method they will eventually find a way to block it. But the general rule is this: never use their app. As soon as you use their official app that's it. For YT there was something called *youtubevanced* but it's not working anymore, for Spotify I also had something but again it's not working anymore. So I am always trying to find an alternative way to connect to that content. What I am doing now I represented here: ruclips.net/video/l_j8mxRxDtU/видео.html [from 22 min]. Basically, you need to use COMPUTER to watch TV content. The web browser like firefox or Brave with uBlock Origin and a good site with a huge library of movies, tv-series, and shows. That problem with HDMI .... I hate adapters, they will always cause problems. You might need an adapter like this here www.amazon.com/Monoprice-6191-VGA-HDMI-Converter/dp/B008CR0S50 [but no guaranties]. Ideally, you need a graphic card with HDMI output. That is 100% success. What motherboard do you have?
@@hardwin82 Thank you for reply. I solved the adapter problem by contacting the company on Amazon and the lady was very helpful and credited me so I reordered that same brand and the newer one worked. So now it's back to blocking ads on smartTV. You are right though I get zero ads on YT with adblocker on my desktop computer and I would have to watch from that to be ad free. Disappointed that I can't load adblocker on the smartTV as easily!
I followed instructions to the letter and "Lo and Behold" it didn't make the slightest difference. Still bombarded with freakin ads. Makes me wonder if all those posts hailing this guy as the new messiah were on a commission.
I paid those people to left those comments. I am joking of course. Did U use the new DNS server? the video was made a long time ago, and DNS has changed. Also what app did U use to watch content on your SMART TV? This method is not bulletproof. This will not work on Netflix, YT, and many others due to how ads are handled there. Sometimes a multilevel approach is needed, that's why I made 3 videos only about this subject. "new messiah" hehe
I'm not using those services but just had a quick look at the Reddit forum to see what's goin on. Hmm, I don't have any good news. Many companies starting to use something, called "stitching" ads. So for many blockers ads looks like a part of the movie, the same IP, the same source, etc. To attack this I would try to talk with people on Reddit. There were a few interesting answers but they require testing.
hi. I just had a look at this PlutoTV. Unbelievable amount of ads! Hmm changing DNS will not help here because ADS are serving from the same domains as the content. Also, I just tried browser extensions...nothing. Few people claim on the internet that if U install a modified PlutoTV app U could block ads. But I am not gonna check it because it looks malicious for me [basically you are disabling security to install that app]. Sorry man, can't help here. This thing is hard, no one found a solution for this [yet].
this ads getting out of hand always get 15 sec add u can't skip then another 5 sec and I can skip when it already finish smh youtube going back to old days off tv
Seems like it's working. I purposely playing free movies with ads via Amazon Prime on TV. So far no ads. Too bad it won't block ads with RUclips. Sometimes youtube is going crazy. Pushing ads every 3-4 minutes. It is beyond any morality. How greedy are you?
Works on my Samsung Smart TV also. I watch a lot of videos on the youtube app and the ads were so annoying and the best part is that I can still pause or rewind the videos. Very helpful video, thanks a lot.
@@andreabakas6274 in your home you probably have black box that connects you with the internet. that box is router. procedure looks bit like here: ruclips.net/video/L1nWlQKYRu4/видео.html you can use amazon fire stick and change DNS there or tell me what router you have [full model number] and I wll try to help you
@@hardwin82 I face problem to watch youtube... Once ads comes it refresh due to low memory... I reset it ,clear catche , change DNS from website it doesn't work..
@@zeetheleo YT is tricky, there is an app you could install on your TV but not on LG due to OS used. YT ads work differently, hence the problem, on my site I explain that more.
Hi. I tried this on Samsung 75QN85B television and it doesn't work. Just 10 seconds later i played a video on youtube abd it started with a 2 minutes ad. Anyway.. It's impossible to block youtube ads on samsung.
In my Amazon firestick, it also asks for DNS 2 while editing in advanced settings. What should I fill there? Also, my IP address, and Gateway is different from yours, should I keep it as it is, or copy yours?
I have a SAMSUNG Smart TV. How long ago did they start doing this? I bought mine several years ago and this ad stuff never happens. I was thinking and looking to buy a new one.
My Samsung TV still plays ads on RUclips after doing this.. and if I go back into the settings it does show that the DNS is still these settings.. any further advice?
I am afraid this method will not work with YT due to how YT is handling ads [from the same IP]. More here: www.hardwin82.com/post/howtoremoveadvertsfromsmarttvinonly2minutes
interesting question. I was using something like this for Spotify but that method is not working anymore. these days we could use something like MuteDaddy ruclips.net/video/baqdJ46nm4U/видео.html hmmm I need to think about this
ads on home menu hmmm. Interesting question. Not sure BUT try this method: ruclips.net/video/LGEjiKbX3Ts/видео.html YT - it's not working on YT due to how they handle ads [on their own servers]. But you can also did what I did here: ruclips.net/video/l_j8mxRxDtU/видео.html
@@hardwin82 Thanks. I'll take a look. The only thing I have seen that looks viable is to block the domain names that Samsung or other companies use via the wireless router or another method.
The first thing that it showed me was 2 ads
I was annoyed by this as well. 😡

My Tv doesn't have a DNS option (it's a built in Roku). So I tried to do this DNS change on my router and once I press apply, it resets my netgear modem/router combo and then it goes back to an auto populated DNS (primary and secondary). Is my ISP not allowing me to change it?? So then I tried again and made your DNS the primary and google's 1111 the secondary and 0000 for the third, and now it says "invalid tertairy dns". So I'm not sure it won't let me change the DNS, I'm assuming my ISP has it locked I guess; because even when it looks like it's going to change, it just resets back to some auto populated numbers.
Edit: I tried it again, without the 0000 and now it works. And the Roku on the TV has NO ADS now. lol.. You're a GOD. it worked
You should make an updated guide on removing ads on the tv and/or its apps :D
Actually I did 2 more videos about this subject. Different methods. Not sure if you saw it.
thank you, this works so well on samsung smart tv. maybe not so much on channel 4 but i will check out your other videos. it seemed to have shortened the ads on you tube but not stopped completely but i will work on that.
Happy that that helped. YT is VERY tricky, have a look here: www.hardwin82.com/post/howtoremoveadvertsfromsmarttvinonly2minutes bit more info.
It didn't work for me (sad)
FANTASTIC ! DONE ✅
happy to help 👍😃
Thumbs up on an informative video. I despise ads like many others but I have no where near the time wasted like the sample shown on your video. 6 ads, 2 minutes is madness. The ads I get are about 14 seconds and then it shows a button to cancel the next one and resume the show. But they pop up out of nowhere cutting off the show. Even though the show continues right away it's like listening to a song skip and interrupts my chain of thought. On one youtube video they kept popping up every 3 minutes at one point!
This DNS# didn't work for me on all channels, not RUclips and Tubi, but it seemed to work on Exite, the 80s music video channel. I have a new Samsung smartTV which I don't call smart because I want easy watching TV, not all the hassles and gadgets.
Anyway a bigger problem I have is I can't connect my computer on this TV to use as a monitor. I want to use the big screen for internet surfing/streaming, emails etc. It doesn't see my HDMI to VGA adapter like my other 2018 smart TV did. Do you have a video that helps for this? I tried HDMI 1 and 2 and the icon on the TV displays an "unknown" message on both.
thx man. This whole situation with ads is getting ridiculous. I'm afraid we will end up like heroes from the TV series *Black Mirror* episode * Fifteen Million Merits*. I am happy that this method works with some of the apps that you are using. Unfortunately, it's not working in some cases like YT. I made this video more than a year ago and now things are different. A multilevel approach is necessary. That's why I made 3 different videos about this/3 methods. But those companies are not stupid, there is a new method they will eventually find a way to block it.
But the general rule is this: never use their app. As soon as you use their official app that's it. For YT there was something called *youtubevanced* but it's not working anymore, for Spotify I also had something but again it's not working anymore. So I am always trying to find an alternative way to connect to that content. What I am doing now I represented here: ruclips.net/video/l_j8mxRxDtU/видео.html [from 22 min]. Basically, you need to use COMPUTER to watch TV content. The web browser like firefox or Brave with uBlock Origin and a good site with a huge library of movies, tv-series, and shows.
That problem with HDMI .... I hate adapters, they will always cause problems. You might need an adapter like this here www.amazon.com/Monoprice-6191-VGA-HDMI-Converter/dp/B008CR0S50 [but no guaranties]. Ideally, you need a graphic card with HDMI output. That is 100% success. What motherboard do you have?
@@hardwin82 Thank you for reply. I solved the adapter problem by contacting the company on Amazon and the lady was very helpful and credited me so I reordered that same brand and the newer one worked.
So now it's back to blocking ads on smartTV. You are right though I get zero ads on YT with adblocker on my desktop computer and I would have to watch from that to be ad free. Disappointed that I can't load adblocker on the smartTV as easily!
I followed instructions to the letter and "Lo and Behold" it didn't make the slightest difference. Still bombarded with freakin ads. Makes me wonder if all those posts hailing this guy as the new messiah were on a commission.
I paid those people to left those comments. I am joking of course. Did U use the new DNS server? the video was made a long time ago, and DNS has changed. Also what app did U use to watch content on your SMART TV? This method is not bulletproof. This will not work on Netflix, YT, and many others due to how ads are handled there. Sometimes a multilevel approach is needed, that's why I made 3 videos only about this subject. "new messiah" hehe
Thank you from here in the UK. your English is super good 👍👍😎Mr B
Thank you!! works great on Apple TV!!
didn't work for me :( still getting ads on Hulu and Crunchyroll, I've tried all the AdGuard public DNS servers
I'm not using those services but just had a quick look at the Reddit forum to see what's goin on. Hmm, I don't have any good news. Many companies starting to use something, called "stitching" ads. So for many blockers ads looks like a part of the movie, the same IP, the same source, etc. To attack this I would try to talk with people on Reddit. There were a few interesting answers but they require testing.
@@hardwin82 oh wow that makes sense, thanks for your response! :)
It worked!!!! Man oh man!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Apparently doesn't work for the RUclips app...
Can confirm it doesn't work for yt
A LEGEND!
:D
Does it work on LG devices? I get wayy to many ads on PlutoTV
hi. I just had a look at this PlutoTV. Unbelievable amount of ads! Hmm changing DNS will not help here because ADS are serving from the same domains as the content. Also, I just tried browser extensions...nothing. Few people claim on the internet that if U install a modified PlutoTV app U could block ads. But I am not gonna check it because it looks malicious for me [basically you are disabling security to install that app]. Sorry man, can't help here. This thing is hard, no one found a solution for this [yet].
@@hardwin82 Thank you for looking into it, I Appreciate it
this ads getting out of hand always get 15 sec add u can't skip then another 5 sec and I can skip when it already finish smh youtube going back to old days off tv
its madness yes. Have a look here www.hardwin82.com/post/howtoremoveadvertsfromsmarttvinonly2minutes maybe something will be usefull.
On my Sony smart TV is asking IPv6 to set up before I can change the DNS. What should I put there? Please help. Thanks
try this:
2a00:5a60::ad1:0ff
2a00:5a60::ad2:0ff
I gave up on several Movies due to incessant adverts thanks Sir.
Seems like it's working. I purposely playing free movies with ads via Amazon Prime on TV. So far no ads.
Too bad it won't block ads with RUclips. Sometimes youtube is going crazy. Pushing ads every 3-4 minutes. It is beyond any morality. How greedy are you?
any update? I want to block dem bad youtube ads :(
Works on my Samsung Smart TV also. I watch a lot of videos on the youtube app and the ads were so annoying and the best part is that I can still pause or rewind the videos. Very helpful video, thanks a lot.
Doesn’t work on my Samsung tv. Did you do something special? I just did the settings and still got ads on RUclips
Worked on 15 October 2022. I've tried Adguard DNS before and that didn't work.
This is from 2 years ago. Today I tried and it doesn't connect. Is there a new DNS with filter in 2022?
yes mate, there is a new DNS address adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-dns-new-addresses.html
Appreciate it but my tv doesn't have advanced settings on network. It's a Google tv Hisense smart 4k can you make a updated one please
you can change the DNS in the router or buy an Amazon Fire Stick tv and do it there
@@hardwin82am in the same boat with my Sony Bravia tv - run by google! 😢 “change the DNS in the router” 😬 is this a setting on the TV??
@@andreabakas6274 in your home you probably have black box that connects you with the internet. that box is router. procedure looks bit like here: ruclips.net/video/L1nWlQKYRu4/видео.html you can use amazon fire stick and change DNS there or tell me what router you have [full model number] and I wll try to help you
many thanks! ill make a go of it and get back to you. fingers crossed. :)
LG 49 3D smart TV model 47LB 7200-TA, not working any DNS change... Please guide
ok mate, what app you are using to watch smart tv? have a look here as well www.hardwin82.com/post/howtoremoveadvertsfromsmarttvinonly2minutes
@@hardwin82 I face problem to watch youtube... Once ads comes it refresh due to low memory... I reset it ,clear catche , change DNS from website it doesn't work..
@@zeetheleo YT is tricky, there is an app you could install on your TV but not on LG due to OS used. YT ads work differently, hence the problem, on my site I explain that more.
@@hardwin82 So no solution ?
@@zeetheleo have a look at the link that I provided
Hi. I tried this on Samsung 75QN85B television and it doesn't work. Just 10 seconds later i played a video on youtube abd it started with a 2 minutes ad. Anyway.. It's impossible to block youtube ads on samsung.
Hi, this method will not work with YT, Netflix and some others. Bit more here: www.hardwin82.com/post/howtoremoveadvertsfromsmarttvinonly2minutes
I load this video. Guy with designer glasses, died haird and lefty music. Can't trust this video
To bad i cannot give you 10000 likes on my own you're the best !
In my Amazon firestick, it also asks for DNS 2 while editing in advanced settings. What should I fill there?
Also, my IP address, and Gateway is different from yours, should I keep it as it is, or copy yours?
hi. change only DNS, put those 94.140.14.14 and 94.140.15.15
i Heard the sound 3:14 what they say "Por*". , i like that word that they say
What can I do if i dont have all settings or advance settings on my samsung tv..to look for DNS ?
You can change settings in your router or buy Amazon stick
Thanks for the info Mr. Hardwin.
Thank you very much this worked on my tv.
Yeah so I tried it on 10videos and after that I got the adds back:(
Thank you a lot man
I was really getting pissed.
I stopped spending time on RUclips because of this
People are saying that it doesnt work on YT tho, does it work? :o
It works! Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing bro.
Nice one.
Did this on my 2022 Samsung frame - the ad that appears when I press the home button is gone!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Brilliant! Thanks.
I have a SAMSUNG Smart TV. How long ago did they start doing this? I bought mine several years ago and this ad stuff never happens. I was thinking and looking to buy a new one.
My Samsung TV still plays ads on RUclips after doing this.. and if I go back into the settings it does show that the DNS is still these settings.. any further advice?
I am afraid this method will not work with YT due to how YT is handling ads [from the same IP]. More here: www.hardwin82.com/post/howtoremoveadvertsfromsmarttvinonly2minutes
We were going crazy with all the annoying adds.. Great job, Thank you so muchhhhhhhhh
Excellent thanks
I'm looking for an auto mute for commercials is there setting in Samsung tvs for that ?
interesting question. I was using something like this for Spotify but that method is not working anymore. these days we could use something like MuteDaddy ruclips.net/video/baqdJ46nm4U/видео.html hmmm I need to think about this
@@hardwin82 Oh ok yeah heard about that. But its not all that good so never got one.
With me this is not working. When I try to change it I have two options iPv4 DNS1 and iPv4 DNS2. Where I have to change it. Thank you!
hi. for DNS1 put 94.140.14.14 and for DNS2
94.140.15.15. let me know how it went :)👍
@@hardwin82 Thank you very much for your kind assistance. I will let you know.
Brilliant - thank you.
it doesn't work on RUclips (TV), I did all the steps perfectly on my Lg tv still there are ads.
Sadge :( let us know if you figure something out, Ill do the same
It did work ! Perfect!! Thank You!!!
Hi can you tell me if this works on VIZIO smart TV'S? Thank -You
Is this possible on Samsung SMART tv's to block the ads on their home menu? Does it work in the
RUclips app?
ads on home menu hmmm. Interesting question. Not sure BUT try this method: ruclips.net/video/LGEjiKbX3Ts/видео.html
YT - it's not working on YT due to how they handle ads [on their own servers]. But you can also did what I did here: ruclips.net/video/l_j8mxRxDtU/видео.html
@@hardwin82 Thanks. I'll take a look. The only thing I have seen that looks viable is to block the domain names that Samsung or other companies use via the wireless router or another method.
your english is great bro
Thanks Hardwin for your efforts, and currently seeing if RUclips ads are disabled. Will let youse know. 😁
