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

And remember your tivo looses the function evert time it's cold-started or reset.

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