Quite some time ago, when I talked to Shaw about the BlueCurve device (both the "6" and "7" models, i.e., 2 RJ45 sockets and 4 RJ45 sockets), they said that it definitely has a full-fledged bridge mode, though we didn't discuss TV matters in that context.

Might the TV player be able to use your own router's Wi-Fi in this case?
