I am looking at the DirecTivo from DirecTV / Tivo and
noticed that it has 2 USB ports. Can I use one of the
USB ports to connect to my Wireless Network? I have a MN-
500 Wireless Base Station.

Any one have any experiance with this?

George,

You cannot hook your Base Station to DirecTV using USB since it doesn't have
a USB port. You would have to connect the USB to your computer and enable
Internet Connection Sharing
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...orking/ics.asp) so
the rest of the computers on your network can access the internet through
the system directly connected to DirecTV via the USB port.
