Apple TV and iOS YouTube ads are not blocked by Pi-hole, so I researched this and discovered a flaw in Protobuf that allows me to restrict YouTube ads.
I bought the high end nvidia shield last year and just out of warranty both the bluetooth and wifi chips died. It's basically a brick now and I am probably never going to buy another. Even more stupid as I have an old tube-shield that is still running just fine from like 2018. I ended up installing https://libreelec.tv/ on an old pi 4 I had lying around. HDR, multi-language subtitles, using existing TV remote over HDMI-CEC, all work. That being said, I only use it for Jellyfin.
I hope anyone use using a shield does not have the same experience I did.
Easier solution: don't buy an apple tv
Too bad most other streaming boxes suck ass and are full of ads. Begging Android TV manufacturers to use a decent SoC for once.
nvidia shield or a pc
