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.



The s-p-s-3-0-s sequence activates the back door. Once activated, the skip
to end/tick button becomes the 30 second skip. You can also use it as skip
to tick by putting the TiVo in fast forward, then pressing the button, it
will jump to the next tick.

Yes, mine has stopped working also. I just recieved a replacement unit
(second replacement) and the SPS30S doesnt work any longer. It makes me
sad. Another thing that makes me sad is all the knitpicking and bickering
in these threads.

It might have had you given the model.

There are probably 15 different series 2 Tivos.

Who makes it, what is the MODEL number, is it an SA or Direct Tivo?

It usually helps to give TOO much information in order to receive help.
