They are putting the PoE supply in the router -- no more power brick. I suppose it's too much to hope that they cut power draw enough to use standardized PoE++ equipment. They do offer an add-on Ethernet adapter, and have promised a bridged mode. That at least gets us back to the functionality we have now.

My guess is they moved the "smarts" from the dish to the router, so no net change.
