Seems like the a few GE sets I worked on in the 80's had the schematic in a
little box that snapped into the back of the set. I don't remember the
model #, but these were famous for bad solder joints where coils and
transformers were soldered directly to the board. I fixed at least two of
them with the same problem in the same location.

As far as printing cost is concerned....really?!! Come on.

And liability issues would be?

Phoo-ey! It wasn't that long ago that schematics were included with
*every*
TV...at least the ones I had occasion to deal with as a
consumer/experimenter.

I don't know when that was, but the most I've ever seen in televisions
was a parts layout diagram, and that was before the all-in-one main
boards. True, I have seen them glued inside import radios from the
1970s, and some CB gear, and Tandy was at one time good for including
a schematic with some of their gear. I have also seen them reithr
glued to the back of large appliances, or tucked into the control
panel.

Last I saw was in a Mitsubishi from around 1985. A wonderful, high
quality,
foldout schematic. Not sure if it was taped inside or included with the
customer information. Too bad that TV hasn't needed service.
