  it’s just never used or enabled in the software by default

  …and most people who own those devices have never heard of IPv6 and don’t know how to enable it.

    this shouldnt be a.burden for users.

    you can simply update a device to support it by default.

  My smart TV from two years ago does not support ipv6, and it was fairly high end.

      Vizio. Technically I don’t see anything saying yes or no on IPv6 but I didn’t find any relevant settings on the TV network config, nor do I see any IPv6 address on my router.

      I did see an online post of someone saying similar, except the Chromecast functionality used IPv6
