Comment on Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device?

Demonstrating the need for jail breaking firmware for smart TVs (and repealing the DMCA anti-circumvention clause that enforces Tivoization) in two different ways at once:

  1. You can’t use ethernet-ovet-HDMI on your smart TV because you don’t have enough control over it even though it’s running Linux.
  2. You only care about the feature in the first place because you don’t have enough control over it even though it’s running Linux.
