got it. do i have any options? or this old apple tv 1 is paper weight?

you could try running the 4.0 PreRelease as it has FTLDNS which is our own very special fork of DNSmasq

echo release/v4.0 | sudo tee /etc/pihole/ftlbranch 
pihole checkout core release/v4.0 
pihole checkout web release/v4.0

What is installation procedure for this version?

The three command lines above from @technicalpyro are the terminal commands to run to move to the release 4.0 branch. Run the commands in that order.

this works! thank you

Awesome happy to hear it!

Now that we have released 4.0 you should be able to run pihole checkout master and remain on the master branch
