I fear the day these fucks figure out DOH or something. Not sure there's any way to suppress or intercept that, short of just blocking all external traffic to the TV.

You need plain DNS to resolve the DoH server. Just block that.

Setting up DoH, I already provide the expected name AND an IP. No need for plain DNS at any step. There's no reason a corporate TV can't do that either.

A hardcoded IP is even easier to block.
