Can anyone confirm which functionality would be broken if I were to get FIOS DVRs for this month when NOT using their router as the primary until I get the port-forwarding configured? (I have the FIOS Actiontec router configured to act like a dumb MoCA bridge). Are the ethernet ports active on the DVRs if I want to use that instead of MoCA?
I know the CallerID, streaming to it from the PC, and remote-DVR functionality will be broken. I want to confirm it will get guide data with no port forwarding set up, as long as it is on a MoCA LAN and can pick up an IP thru DHCP.

**Split topic from guide data thread.
I don't think the Ethernet ports on the FiOS boxes are activated. You can use the FiOS router as a dummy MoCA bridge. Your FiOS boxes will be able to pull guide data, as long as they have an IP on your local LAN.
