"Again".

I used to have a Sega Channel as a kid. It was this big clunky cartridge with its own power supply and internet connection that downloaded Sega Genesis games. It was incredible.

I knew a kid who had the Sega channel thing, it was amazing to watch.

The Internet was not part of the system

Programming and transmission of the Sega Channel's monthly services started with a production team at Sega, which would put together content every month and load it onto a CD-ROM. It was then sent to TCI's satellitestation,[12] located in Denver, Colorado.[13] From the station, the signal was transmitted via Hughes Communications' Galaxy 7 satellite, which uploaded at 1.435 GHz and downloaded at 1.1 GHz, to the local cable providers.

While doing some research on Sega Channel (I was a SNES kid) I found this article which has a lot of cool info.
