Concept model of the planned design. Not built yet.

  1. The Box.

    About the size of a coaster. One light on top.

  2. Glass on top.

    The amber light shows it is working. Nothing else blinks.

  3. Two radios inside.

    One joins your Wi-Fi. The other runs a network just for your TVs.

  4. Set up from your phone.

    Over Bluetooth, like a speaker. No router settings.

How it works

  1. Plug it in next to the TV

    Set it up from your phone.

  2. Connect each TV to its Wi-Fi

    Pick the Box's network in the TV's settings.

  3. It blocks the tracking

    Streaming still works. Once a month, it shows you what it stopped.

A monthly report of every blocked attempt

How many times each TV tried to reach its tracking service, and was stopped.

Questions

Do I need to touch my router?
No. It joins your Wi-Fi like any other device. It works where your Wi-Fi password is all you have.
Will Netflix and YouTube still work?
Yes. It blocks the tracking servers, not the ones that send you video.
Why not just flip the switch?
Do that too. It is free. The Box is for when updates move it, and for proof it is off.
When, and how much?
No date or price yet. The list hears first. Joining is not an order.
