Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?

Cellular and your neighbors WiFi that was online without a password for about 3 minutes. It only takes a few seconds for them to dump all their stored history up to the mothership.
Its also common for a lot od ISPs to have a hidden SSID for their other customers, which you cannot disable. I wouldn’t be surprised if your neighbors TV will mesh share their WiFi to your TV so it can upload the data about you. That data is why they sold you that TV at a discount. They want it.
