The smart tv has wifi, like all this smart stuff we have today, if the
HDMI cable has internet, I doubt it, just audio and video.

Just so everybody knows the laptop for multimedia, amd radeon has a new
from scratch install of ASCII, I've let it set overnight with a movie on
pause and the log is open and running live and while I've had the net
down the log says:eth0 link down, receive packet failed, dhclent failed
to send 300 byte long packet over fallback interface(what fallback
interface?), and last is send_packet: please consult README file
regarding broadcast address.

That was the last log, since I brought the net down and it's much, much
quieter and seems to be behaving its self and my audio/video seem to be
perfect. I have a computer to repair, a laptop with no power, as I
suffer spine & nerve damage & constant pain it maybe a all day job. So
I will be checking comments when I can. But for ASCII and it seems to
be behaving its self, that is great, with the intel its behavior was crazy.

Thanks,
