HDMI can certainly carry Ethernet


Yes, I know, also power, just not a usable amount. Ethernet over HDMI is rarely implemented and caps out at 100Mbps. Even if you have it, that still leaves you with a power cable and big ugly box to put somewhere.


The bit rate of all the current streaming providers and Bluray players fits well within 100Mbps, so I'm not sure that's really a limitation?
