    I’m pretty sure its always been the case with the Xtrend ET10K. Maybe a driver related issue. Can’t imagine it ever getting fixed.

    ET10K: The ethernet port nearest the tuners is called VLAN and is 10/100MB. The other one is a gigabit interface.

    Not sure - you need to disable/enable the ethernet ports via networking - your router will probably keep the same ip address.

    I used to run systems with 8. That's 8 10Gb/s ports - and they were all bundled into one network connexion.
    But it wasn't a Vix box.

    I suspect it has two as that is what came about once the supplier put the chosen chipsets on the board.

    I have a USB tuner with two frontends (DVB-T and DVB-T2). That's just how the supplier decided to use the chipsets. All perfectly OK as far as the Linux DVB standard goes (but Vix thinks otherwise..).

    Can't get my XT10000 to run either Interface at 1Gbps either. The "LAN" Port, not the VLAN one, definitely says "Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet" in the Description but only links up at 100Mbps, various cables and switches tried. Seems to be a Driver limitation, like Andy_Hazza says.

    I'd be surprised if a Linux driver wouldn't drive at 1Gb if a chipset allows it.
    It is possible for either end to limit the maximum speed. Have you tried connecting something else, say a laptop, to that cable to see what it negotiates?
