[QUOTE="windscribe, post: 940871, member: 58131"] You can just configure Legacy DNS in the Android TV, or any device for that matter, it all should (and does work as per our tests). Just follow this guide: [URL='https://kb.controld.com/tutorials/nvidiashield']Nvidia Shield / Android TV Setup Tutorial[/URL] Keep in mind, the IP you're using to interact with with control panel must be the same as your Android TV, otherwise it will not work.

The major point of ControlD is that we do all the hard work for you and distill it all to a single toggle switch which enables a far better blocklist than what you will find online, as per feedback from people in this thread.
