And this is just a tactic to convince a lot of people who wouldn't install a smart speaker, to buy a TV with a built-in, always listening, Alexa device instead.

The Amazon Fire TV Omni is clearly a play to deliver a more premium Fire TV experience, from the improved design to the introduction of currently-exclusive features, like hands-free Alexa, and the promise of being the first to roll out upcoming features, like video calling. And it makes sense, this is Amazon's first Fire TV to get designed in-house and bear the Amazon brand name. It's also the most expensive Fire TV yet.
But the more luxe look and refreshed interface run headlong into the reality of the hardware. With a middling display and speakers, the more premium Fire TV Omni doesn't deliver a better experience where it counts most: In viewing TV and movies. Instead, it offers a better version of what came before, a great platform for Alexa fans and Amazon Prime Video diehards, but a smart TV experience that still finds itself falling behind other affordable offerings.

I snagged a 50" Fire TV for $99 in the previous Prime Day event. That one did not start until, if I remember correctly, the very early morning of the second day. And it lasted about four minutes before selling out. But there is no pattern. Amazon can put out a deal at any time during the event.
The place where the release timing is confirmed during the Prime Day for any given hot deal like this is the Lightening Deal list. However, going there first at midnight PDT on October 11 will incur risk that the deal sells out while doing that if it actually does start at this time.
This is what I would do: First go to this TV's product page not later than at or very shortly after midnight PDT on October 11. If this deal is not active, refresh the page once to make sure. If it is still not active, then it is very likely that Amazon is releasing it some other time during the Prime Day. If this happens to be the case, what you do is to go through the list of the Lightening Deals and look for this TV. It should be there (or will shortly be there) and showing exactly when this particular product will be released as a Lightening Deal. You will not see the price in this list of the Lightening Deals. The price remains opaque until the deal actually opens.
Whatever you do, don't go to the Lightening Deal list first. If you end up realizing that the deal is already on, you may be too late,
Rebranded insignia or whoever makes insignia, right?
Think about it - if Amazon did price-adjust to a deal price, what would be the point of having a timed deal? No one would have to show up to such a deal because all they would have to do is to ask for a price adjustment later.
Amazon is stubborn about not price-adjusting for virtually anything, and most especially about timed deals like a Lightening Deal.
