Why it matters
A 65-inch OLED at $500 off, an app removal that kills a streaming service on a five-year-old TV, or an ad tracking default caught and turned off each is worth the fee.
Who it is for
- The 125 million American households with a smart TV and the cord cutters who rely on a streaming stick for everything.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Thursday 17:00 UTC. TV prices drop hardest in November and before the Super Bowl, streaming devices refresh in fall, and ad and tracking policy changes land with software updates

Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Smart TV & Streaming Device WatchTrack smart TVs and streaming devices for US households. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: sales of 25 percent or more with price history context on TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Vizio and Roku and on streaming devices from Roku, Amazon, Google and Apple at Best Buy, Amazon, Costco and Walmart; home screen ad, automatic content recognition and tracking policy changes on smart TV and streaming platforms with how to opt out; streaming app removals and additions by platform; end-of-support notices for TV models and streaming devices; firmware updates that add or remove features; HDMI, Dolby and streaming standard changes affecting compatibility; CPSC TV and soundbar recalls; and FTC or state privacy actions on TV makers. Prefer manufacturer, platform, retailer, CPSC and FTC sources; ignore affiliate TV rankings. Put the brand and the model first in the title. Use high severity for a flagship TV at its lowest recorded price, an app removal affecting a top-10 service, or a tracking default change. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, which devices, the price or deadline, what to do, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
