- JKCalhoun 6y agoDifferent antenna?
- foepys 6y agoSmartphones only have one antenna as far as I know. Why should it be different for TVs?
- ce4 6y agoThe Xbox One S for example has two separate Mediatek radios. One for networking the other for the controller. There's another option: Buy and hook up a dumb hdmi converter to the panel. Taobao has these (low latency, niche gamer market)
- foepys 6y agoThe Xbox is doing it that way because they need the lowest input latency possible for the controllers. Blocking the antenna for network operations delays the user input. A TV doesn't have that problem and certainly won't have two antennas. We are effectively helpless against those tinier and tinier SoCs and the only option is not to buy.
- SAI_Peregrinus 6y agoSmartphones typically have four (or more) antennas. 2 for cell (main and diversity), one for wifi/bluetooth, one for GPS. Some phones compress that down to 2, but lose signal strength by doing so.
- ornornor 6y agoThey probably use different antennas though so you could cut the cellular modems antenna connection without impacting the remotes.
