Are there any disadvantages I have missed with doing it that way?
Chances are you won't be able to get more than 4meg from the STB. I was worried when I had mine installed that it would be a real hassle, but honestly? It was a 2 minute job for the installer to put the splitter in for the modem, and about 10 minutes for me to go through the registration and keep/transfer my current username etc. I did have trouble with one of my email addresses - somehow it stayed attached to the STB, but a quick phone call to bb faults got that sorted (no more than 2 minutes).

Seriously - I was worried about changing the status quo, but it's been so much better.
