I've had a Humax Freesat HDR box since last Christmas...
It has an ethernet port on the back but there was no support for it via the menus until the latest firmware update a few days ago...

I can now set IP, subnet mask, DNS etc of the box and PING it from a machine in the house. Can't map a network drive to the box either (Says it doesn't exist).

Does anyone know of any use at the moment for this? Can't seem to find anything on the Humax website.
Cheers :)
 
I think the ethernet port is there so the Freesat box can provide interactive services quicker by using the internet.
