Just look at the netflix logs
netflix, and amazon (perticularly *firebat.prime-video, and *logs.netflix) always race to become "who is first" on blocklist at my end as well.
Not sure if your TV run on webOS or android, but blocking unwanted services would help a lot in terms of amazon/netflix data stealing.
for fireTV we have this -

Can someone kindly message dns settings which when added to router blocks ads on TV and Android mobile (connected via wifi )
Want to give a try first
replying here so that all can see.
one option is adguard public DNS, there are few more options just see and whats suits you best.
Although adguard, and all free adblock DNS providers are making it difficult for people to discover and use this methord and pushing people for paid products.
Setup instruction are hidden here -

Routers
Open your router preferences.
Go to DNS settings in the router admin page. Replace DNS addresses with the addresses of one of the servers below.
Default servers : AdGuard DNS will block ads and trackers.
IPv4:
94.140.14.14
94.140.15.15
IPv6:
2a10:50c0::ad1:ff
2a10:50c0::ad2:ff
Family protection servers : AdGuard DNS will block ads, trackers, adult content, and enable Safe Search and Safe Mode, where possible.
IPv4:
94.140.14.15
94.140.15.16
IPv6:
2a10:50c0::bad1:ff
2a10:50c0::bad2:ff
Save changes.
a quick video how to do this could be done -
PLEASE NOTE:
devices and browser comes with hardcoded DNS these days.
Almost, all android devices has 8.8.8.8 as hardcoded DNS embedded, Android phone hides this from user, as host file is not exposed to user.
But this, we can see in fireTV/AndroidTV where whatever DNS we add, it might show 8.8.8.8 as extra in it network setting.
In browser it is shoved under user's throat in the name of Private browsing / Safe browsing, etc.
It's important to block
8.8.8.8 &
8.8.4.4 in router before implementing any adblocking measures.
