Can you set up your router or PiHole to block the tracking domains? There has to be list of those.

The problem is some TV related software ( like Chromecasts and i suppose Android TV / Google TV ) use hardcored DNS servers, so a DNS level filter doesn't help.

You can block port 53 (DNS) at the firewall and allow only traffic from and to the PiHole.
