How To Remove Adverts From SMART TV In Only 2 Minutes

Make yourself a present for the 2021 year and remove annoying adverts from your SMART TV in just 2 minutes of your time.

This tutorial is simple, requires an internet connection with your TV and remote. In this method, we will change only one setting: DNS Server. Instead of your default, we will use AdGuard AdsBloocking DNS 176.103.130.130

@@UPDATE 05.07.2021@@@

Adguard made a change. The new DNS server is now

94.140.14.14 94.140.15.15

but the old 176.103.130.130 should still work for a bit.

For people trying to remove ads from YouTube

Ads on YT are tricky. Many methods don't work anymore but we still have some options:

@@UPDATE@@ 3.08.2021

1a. YouTube Premium Lite is in the test phase, this new option will allow you to watch content without ADS for half of the Premium price.

As the name, Lite suggests some of the features offered by YouTube Premium like free music or background viewing will be missing. It's just for the ads.

1b. Pay for YT Premium 17$ [£12] per month

• Ad-free videos: Watch millions of videos uninterrupted by ads.

• Download videos to watch offline: Save videos and playlists on mobile devices and play them offline

• Play in the background: Keep videos playing when using other apps or when your screen is off YouTube Music

• Easily explore the world of music with the new and improved YouTube Music app

• Ad-free music: Listen to millions of songs uninterrupted by ads

• Download music to listen offline: Save music and playlists in the YouTube Music app and listen offline

• Play in the background: Keep music playing when using other apps or when your screen is off YouTube Kids

• Ad-free and offline play in the YouTube Kids app

2. The easiest way now is to connect laptop/PC to the TV using HDMI cable,

and run YT content using Brave browser https://brave.com/

or a browser with an ad-blocking plugin like ublock origin

3. For SMART TV's with android systems install YouTube™ Vanced https://vancedapp.com/

@@UPDATE@@ 15.03.2022 This method is no longer available due to copyright problems

3a. For TVs without android systems you could buy a Firestick and simply install Vanced on that device.

@@UPDATE@@ 15.03.2022 This method is no longer available due to copyright problems

4. Try a new KIWI browser https://kiwibrowser.com/ with an ad-blocking extension

For people trying to remove ads from Roku TV

First - Tap on the Settings option on your Roku home screen > Privacy>Advertising > Then you need to tick the box next to Limit Ad Tracking > Finally, restart your Roku device

Second - I'm not sure how this Roku box works exactly but should work, if not you can change the DNS settings in your router

Third - you also might need to use this method
