What is the point of the Ethernet connection on the back of my 722?
I have an older SD receiver without an Ethernet port. You might want to check out the forums at
http://www.satelliteguys.us/. I can tell you, that for people without a phone at home, they can connect that to their network and eliminate the fee associated with having no phone connection to the receiver.
If it has other uses, I don't know. Dish puts a lot of technology into their receivers that ends up never being utilized. USB is a classic example.
The guys at the satelliteguys forums can tell you with certainty what the purpose of that port is. They may even disprove what I've told you.
