I've been following this thread and I still don't see how any of this
does a durn thing. At least not on my unit anyway. I have a Pioneer
Elite DVR-57H. Even when I hear it give the three bell confirmation I
don't see anything happen. Am I supposed to do something else as well,
to make it actually do a 30 second slip?

I've tried it on live TV, on a Playing Now, and on a saved program.
Nothing. Does this only work from a burned disk, because that's the
only thing I haven't tried yet.

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

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

ok so ours might be not on. how do you set it?

You follow the instructions.

SELECT PLAY SELECT 30 SELECT

If you are having problems, calm down; TiVo is sometimes persnicity about
timing.

1) Start playing a show from Now Playing.
2) Wait several seconds.
3) Press SELECT PLAY SELECT 3 0 SELECT.

If that fails, tell us the exact model and software version you're using.

The reason he hears the BONG is becasue he is in NOW PLAYING, ignoring
it wont help.
