Is it possible to block VOD ads on youtubeTV on androidTV?

by Put_It_All_On_Blck

So YoutubeTV has injected non-skippable ads on VOD catalog content (not DVR recorded stuff), but when playing YoutubeTV in a PC browser with ublock origin those ads are completely blocked and skipped like they are on regular Youtube.

Since AndroidTV is pretty much open, and you can sideload APK's, im wondering if there is a way to block the YoutubeTV VOD ads via DNS or some other method? Google search came up with nothing, and discussion of blocking ads is not permitted in the YoutubeTV sub.

I don't know if this is possible or not, but YouTube Vanced and NewPipe naturally block YouTube advertisements on my phone and Chromebook. I wonder if you can run either of those on your system.

Download the live version of smart YouTube TV. It's on the same GitHub page under other source.
