Pausing/Blocking a Samsung Smart TV
Does anyone sucessfully manage Scheduled Pause and Blocking of a Samsung Smart TV.
My TV is only used to receive streaming services and but regardless of the block or pause status in Fing streaming continues and yes I waited for the buffering to expire (it doesn't).
Thanks Chris

Actually it's not the ISP here, the issue is if your router has IPv6 turned on.
Interesting and annoying. Can't imagine then trying to get away with that here... although I'm sure Comcast would if it thought it could!
That said, my point remains that the issue with IPv6 is internal and not external. That is to say, irrespective of the IPv4 address you lease and agreed IPv6 address you have been given by your ISP, what kills Fingbox's blocking functionality is if your internal router has IPv6 turned on, whether by the user or (as it sounds like for the good folks of Belgium) by their ISP (which still fair blows my mind!)
