You sit down to relax, put on your favorite show, and settle in for a night of binge-watching. But while you’re watching your TV… your TV is watching you.

Smart TVs take constant snapshots of everything you watch. Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

Welcome to the future of "entertainment."

HEC feature enables IP-based applications over HDMI and provides a bidirectional Ethernet communication at 100 Mbit/s

I think the bandwidth is too slow for HD/4K Streams.

I am sure the 100 Mbit/s must also be theoretical maximum, i would be impressed if practical cables supports even half the orignal specs

100Mbit/s is plenty for streaming even 8k
