Pi-hole and Virgin MediaHub problem

@propofrolic

hopefully there’s a software based solution.

You can use your Pi-Hole as the DHCP server:

How do I use Pi-hole's built in DHCP server (and why would I want to)?

Using Your Existing Router For Network-wide Ad Blocking You might not need to use Pi-hole's DHCP server: In many home environments, your router also functions as your DHCP server. In this case, you can often set Pi-hole to be the DNS server for your network clients in the router's DHCP (or LAN) settings page, which allows all of your network clients to block ads simply by connecting to the network. Setting it up this way is also what makes Pi-hole very powerful for network-wide ad blocking. …

I tried setting the DNS server address on my Mac, but then no internet page will load!

Your debug log shows no IP addresses assigned to the Pi. Pi-Hole is listening on 192.168.0.22, but that is not the IP of the Pi. Check in your router settings and verify that the Pi has a reserved IP of 22.
