They did mention that smart TVs track your viewing habits
and the apps you're using.

I bought this on Amazon 3 months ago. TCL 50-inch Class 4-Series 4K UHD Smart Roku LED TV -
50S435, 2021 Model. Paid $298, but it's $348 today. I thought it would provide the
streaming advantages in case I ever decided to quit paying for cable TV.
Nice TV, but every time I turn it on I have to use the TV's remote and select the cable
input. So that's 2 remotes I have to use. Maybe there's a way to have it default but I
haven't found it. It's seems slow to change channels too but that may just be the cable
box switching to a HD channel which I haven't bothered to memorize.
