Ethernet port on 8642

[j-innis]

Does this port do anything, and if not, are there plans to use it in the future?  I guess there is no reason to run an ethernet cable from the switch to this box yet, right?

Correct, currently there is no reason to connect the ethernet jack on it.

STOCK, from cisco, apparently this box can do some form of DLNA... but with the rogers firmware/software on the box, this is not possible.

All communication for it, even encluding stuff like the remote apps, etc, are all done via the coax cable.
