Repeating this item posted in another thread in it's own topic...
Some time ago in another thread we talked about using a WiFi enabled TiVo to update itself through a MotoSat WiFi internet setup. I finally got around to running the test to confirm my prior experience.
The answer is positively YES. I just fully recommissioned my TiVo to an entirely new zip code and am getting daily TiVo updates all completely though the WiFi MotoSat. All features including the TiVo internet add-ons ("Music, Photos, and More" i.e. photo viewer, movie tickets, Yahoo! services, etc.) all work flawlessly (save for the satellite latency) over MotoSat.
My particulars are MotoSat (F1, HN7000S, D3, on G16/99W, using a LinkSys G+B router), TiVo (Series 2, had not even been online for more than 6 months, using a LinkSys USB WiFi adapter))
So all you TiVo fans with MotoSat, fire up your TiVo and get it online!

Thanks for the updated info. It does appear from all reports that a recent software update (Tivo or Hughes?) has allowed this connection to work once again and make the Tivo box again usable in an RV with a good internet connection.
