My question is: Can you block the IPs it’s phoning home to without breaking other TV functions, like OS/app updates, etc? Is there a list of IPs available for smart TVs specifically that keep the fingerprint from being received by the mfg?

    There’s no need. This is a very simple fix. Block your TV from the internet using your router.

    Exactly.

    Then plug in a $20 Google TV box or Apple TV. Problem solved.

    (Referring to blocking Samsung’s telemety, by embracing Google’s or Apple’s. Honestly, I trust Apple the most of the three, but I don’t thrive inside a walled garden, myself.)
