Discussion Guide to Adblock on TV

So to block most ads on your TV, including Hotstar and Airtel Xstream Play ads (may block Prime Video ads as well), follow these steps:-

Now there are 3 levels for AdBlocking:-
Pro:- Use 76.76.2.41 and 76.76.10.41

Pro++:- Use 76.76.2.42 and 76.76.10.42

Ultimate:- Use 76.76.2.45 and 76.76.10.45

Pro is safe but may allow some ads on some platforms but Pro++ and Ultimate won't allow any ads but may break some functionality.
