My understanding is that Ethernet will be for future use, video on demand, like BT have.

Sata, probably never gonna be enabled, Sky like to flog boxes with more storage as "New" products.

RS232, a bit dated for todays market.

USB is used by manufacturing for Programming and Testing, not enabled for the End User.

Which is just another reason to have a Dreambox, as if there wern`t enough already
