Yup, I have a CC original, 2 CC Audio and a CC Ultra. This trick works for them all

How about Roku, AppleTV, Amazon Fire whatever? (I do not know all the correct brand names but I am presuming other companies are trying to hardcode DNS servers too.)

I don't own any of those. But given those devices don't have ties to Google, I doubt they're trying to force people to use their own DNS. I don't even think Roku, Apple or Amazon run public DNS servers.

Like you, I do not have these to test, but I have read that at least Roku have been hardcoding GoogleDNS servers.
