Spin up pihole and just look at the data coming to your “smart” TV’s even when you are not using them. Then consider the data they must be sending home, the only thing “smart” TVs are good at is watching you watch them (or not watching them). I would highly recommend getting a pi or media computer for your TV’s.
I do not think I can stress this enough smart TV’s are not smart for you they are smart for whoever made the TV. Manufactures sell TV’s at a loss now because they get more by selling you.
They do not sell TVs at a loss lol.
Look at an major TV manufactures books and the TV part is a loss, the income they get from the TV is selling you to advertisers.
I'd love to see your source for this. I won't hold my breathe because it's simply not true.

I guess Sony does not, but they allow Amazon and/or Google onto the TV and if you think they are not getting money from you that way I have some nice ocean side property to sell you here in Saskatchewan.
None of these links even remotely say they sell their TVs at a loss.
Roku shouldn’t even be anywhere near this conversation if you were serious. They probably sell a dozen TVs a year. They’re all about streaming boxes which is a different story altogether.
You said to look at their books, yet didn’t provide anything to back that up.
I am waiting on your apology or rebuttal!
I am still waiting for you to provide evidence. Your last attempt was woeful and nothing of the sort.
