Enable the Hidden 30 Second Skip Button on Your TiVo Remote
I ran this about a year ago, but to those who recently got TiVo, here’s a treat for you!
The only feature missing on my beloved TiVo is not really missing at all - enable the 30 second commercial skip button with this elegant hack. From weaknees.com:
1 Start playing any recording.
2 During playback press:
Select - Play - Select - 3 - 0 - Select
3 You should hear three bongs (if you don’t have the TiVo sounds disabled), and you’re done. Your “skip to beginning/end” button (the arrow pointing to a line) is now a 30 second skip button. During fast-forwarding or rewinding, the button will still “skip to tick.”
