A comment on Why Dumb TVs Deserve a Comeback. Parent comment
HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) was added to the HDMI spec in 2009 to allow Blu-ray players to access the internet without a direction connection.
There are zero devices ever released that support HEC.
There are zero OEM HDMI chipsets that support HEC.
The streaming device manufacturers have no incentive to enable this feature.
It's a nice reminder that a good amount of people on HN/Reddit have no idea what they're talking about, even if they use acronyms.
