Smart TVs taking snapshots of your screen and phoning home - Is there a list of IP ranges to block? (youtu.be)

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?

I'm decently happy with the oled pc monitor and use it for everything, but the oled refresh pop up is fairly irritating especially since it happens even when set not to bother you and wait for next screen off. the power led changing colour as an indicator of it being time would also be nice.
