HDMI Ethernet Channel-enabled

I am not clear, what you are asking for. Let me explain, what I understand from your question. BDV-E580 has HDMI ports for input and for output. this HDMI input ports are for connecting laptops, or other devices output. HDMI output port is to connect TVs or projectors. Regarding Ethernet, It has the Ethernet port, where you can connect internet through RJ45 cables. and also you can connect internet through WIFI or USB WIFI donggle. so three ways you can connect internet. I am using this device since two years. it is working very well.

The purpose of the network port (TCP/IP-Ethernet) is to provide a system management, update functionality that is normally present on network streaming or Smart featured devices. It may be ON/ or optionally may not be used. HDCP/HDMI content sometimes uses Ethernet functionality via the HDMI cable directly, but does not require the Ethernet port to function. So it is provided as a convenience. Streaming devices such as Roku's and the like may access via wireless, Ethernet or USB to provide the same functionality. All may introduce security issues when not properly configured.

From the 8500 e-Manual: "This TV does not support the HDMI Ethernet Channel." It does say you can use a High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet (or a High Speed HDMI cable) to connect your "video device" (e.g. a AV receiver or DVR) to the 8500's HDMI input connector, but apparently it will just treat it as a HDMI cable - and internet data will be ignored by the set.

"with Ethernet" means it can send data as well as audio and video together in this one cable. for example practical use you could network multiple multimedia devices that are hdmi Ethernet compliant without the need of an Ethernet Cable. This feature maybe of no relevance at the moment but future multimedia devices will most definitely utilize this Ethernet feature

No. These have nothing to do with your router or Ethernet. These just happen to be using Ethernet wire, because it is cheap and effective, to run HDMI signals from point a to b. It starts with HDMI and ends with HDMI. There is no internet involved.

It is not possible. Why can't you run another ethernet cable from your router directly to the TV?

You can choose, but you aren't able to have two different HDMI sources playing to the two separate zones simultaneously

It must be a direct connection. The HDMI signal is not being converted into any type of network protocol that would be necessary for routing.

It is just a switch. If you know how to connect your devices with an ethernet switch, it is theoretically fast enough for HD streaming. But I did not use it for that purpose before.

Yes it is. I have the same setup. You need to have the Ethernet cable hooked up between the two.

Its used to connect internet just using the HDMI cable intead of using an ethernet cable. I have not had any use for this but I believe there would be some devices that have ethernet system wired to the HDMI port. I have not seen such devices yet, but this is a good idea to have eveything going on only one cable,

I'm sorry, but I dont use the ethernet; I use it wireless. I hope you find the answer your looking for. Regards.

Yes, it should work because the ethernet port is between the hdmi cord and the power supply cord.

Though I have not tried this with TV transmission over Ethernet, I can tell you that other devices like printers do connect to the network and work remotely through the Ethernet port on the bottom on the remote unit.

Yea. That is exactly how I have it set up. The dongle is plugged into my computer and the IR works independently for the TV.

thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe they'd leave the ethernet port off of the "streamlined" model, though. Very annoying! Hopefully still worth it, though. Should be a great picture, which is the most important part.

I have a Dishnet box with only one HDMI port. I use it with a link so O can get an HD picture on my second tv. It works great, no delay, no degraded signal. I recommend it.
