Ethernet is Freesat's master stroke. They have insisted on an ethernet connection as part of the spec for all equipment that carries the Freesat logo. Its purpose is to allow broadcasters to design interactive content that can take advantage of a broadband return path over the internet.
The BBC are working on a version of the iPlayer that will load into the STB (or the TV itself, if its Freesat integrated like your Panny) and let you download, and possibly stream, the same content you currently access on the iPlayer via your PC.
