Doubt it will help, as you say the original VM model gets the internet from its own modem, the ethernet is for other things like sharing content between other household Tivos.

I've not used an original VM Tivo with Netflix for around 3 years, so although it wasn't awful experience it may be worse these days.

If getting them a V6 Tivo upgrade is too much hassle/cost, you'd be better getting a streaming stick, like a Roku and walk them through the setup on the phone. I've helped a relative of pension age recently with Roku and it went OK.
