it doesnt say about interactive & 2bh ethernet is mainly used for adding hacked software & patching the receiver for watching pay tv (however as you will already know non is available for Videoguard). Maplin have been selling satellite receivers & dishes etc for along time so its not a new thing where their concerned.

just noticed that it has a USB port so that would do most of what the ethernet would, if you wanted to use third party software for example.
