The cable box that feeds my dumb tv failed and they gave me a streaming
box. Is it true they (Xfinity) are no longer using direct wire
connections for cable box input?
Pi-hole looks good. Is it worth buying a PI to run it? Or put it on a
very old power-sucking pc? Has anybody had any problems using Pi-hole
with their setup/does it interfere with normal tv operations?
I also use a HOSTS file.

There are different 'flavors' allowing you to block different things.
