There is no way available to the customer to measure traffic through an STB. Your best bet would be to use a router that supports SNMP querying of traffic counters, and monitor that instead: everything that goes through the router WAN port will be going through the STB, so monitoring the router is as good as monitoring the STB.

The practical problem is that very few domestic routers have sales literature that reveals whether they support SNMP, so that you can choose one before purchase.
