I don't know whether the Dreamcast could do that, but certainly Sega did have
something called Sega TV that would allow users to download and play videogames. It was
available in the US only, afaik, and I thought it was around during the mid 90's.
Since the Dreamcast had a built-in modem, or optional BBA (broadband adaptor) for US
users, you may be correct.

My TV /still/ has no PC interface: USB or otherwise.
(I think Sega's Dreamcast system
received games via the cable TV channel).
