Pi Hole is nice, I run it as an add-on in my router's OpenWRT install. But it's not useful for my AppleTV.

That blocking is great, but the FAST channels will still have ads, this may just stop the targeted ads that Goggle will overlay, just like your cable company which overlays ads on non broadcast channels.
