I've had it revert a couple times for no appraent reason that I
could see.
Not a problem to do a quick reset, though.



I lose it on both of mine everytime the power goes out.




I bought a UPS to stop that (and other stuff that goes along with power
outages) from happening, works great and it was less then $40 at Frys.
Worth every penny.

Tivo's 30 Second Skip Easter Egg has stopped working. Anyone having this
problem.


Mine still works but I have to enable it while watching live TV. Most everyone
says to do it while watching a recorded program but I've tried and tried and I
can only set the feature while watching live.

This is done for skipping 30 sec block by -



Grab your TiVo remote.

Bring up any recorded program. (You have to be watching a recorded program
rather than "Live TV" in order to enable the feature.)

On your TiVo remote, key in the following sequence:

SELECT PLAY SELECT 30 SELECT

If you've successfully entered the code, you should hear three "bings" in
succession to inform you that you've successfully enabled the 30 second
skip.

Note that any time your TiVo is rebooted (such as after a power outage or
a
software update) you'll have to re-enable this feature.

Please share if you have any backdoors ?



TIA

You responded to, and quoted (in full) a post that details _exactly_ how
to turn it on.

If you can't read the posts you respond do, why should I think you'll read
any response I make?

You don't do a very good job explaining yourself, then, because your first
post said "how do you set it?", not "That didn't work, now what?"

The answer is the same though: The OP in this thread has the correct
method for turning on the 30-second skip. If it doesn't work for you,
you're either doing it wrong or you have one of the few models that
doesn't offer it. (I shouldn't have to ask what type of TiVo you have...
it's incumbent upon the person asking for help to give enough information
to give a chance at solving the problem.)
