The general consensus seems to be “buy a dumb TV or at least the dumbest ‘smart’ TV you can find and never connect it to the net” and then “buy the media box that behaves the way you want.”
Where I am, cable and satellite TV providers still have you rent a box for their service.
Edit: the lone review on this page suggests there is an “old” TCL TV app. Another but they don’t have good reviews…
“We know. You never apologize for anything; not news.”
