I think it should be:

#!/bin/sh
#

if /sbin/insmod -f /lib/modules/turbonet2.o devicename=eth1 macaddr=00:0B:AD:69:C6:67 ; then
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/sbin/route.tivo add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 0.0.0.0
fi

OK I got the call to complete by typing this into a bash prompt
route.tivo add default gw 192.168.1.1
should I change my rc.sysinit.author to have this instead of route.tivo del default ?

I think you just need to remove the route.tivo del default!

This is probably the cause of the problem, once you had the mask correct when you added the default gateway. If the default gateway was being removed from the routing table then the Tivo had no way of knowing how to get to the outside world. I'm assuming that the previous owner had added this line at some point? Can't think why they would, except to temporarily stop the Tivo talking to the mothership. Try removing the line and rebooting.
