- silon42 6y agoI just fear they will start doing Internet via TV box via HDMI... it will be time to cancel that too, or use it via VGA converter.
- walrus01 6y agoa lot of people don't know that HDMI can carry the equivalent of 100BaseTX Ethernet, which is definitely a threat in this scenario.
- kavi87 6y agoThat's another design flaw of this terrible mess that is "Ethernet" and these horrible protocols that we cannot change ever
- mercora 6y agoAFAICT this works over the same pin that could carry ARC which is arguably more useful to most people and usually available at least on one port. However, devices could also communicate via DDC or CEC too although rather low bandwidth is available it could be enough for some telemetry. Its probably possible to do this via HDMI info frames too somehow... or via direct wireless connections between these devices or infrared or.... the point is there are quite some ways to achieve communication between connected devices already without it.
