Another dumb thing

I hate that stupid anticipatory crap function on fast forward and
rewind. Any way to disable it? I want the damn thing to stop where I
stop it. It keeps thinking I went too far and backs up or forwards past
where I want to be. Then it gets ****ing confused when I back up again
and stop it puts me right back where I started. It is a really suckey
feature.

What kind of support is that?

You are using maximum rewind and fast forward, if you slow it down to
middle rw and ff then the "anticipatory crap" is much reduced and if on
the slowest vanishes altogether.
You might find the 30 second skip feature more to your liking, its been
mentioned dozens of time in this newsgroup.
You really should try a few minor experiments before venting frustration
here.

Stop Fast Forward or Rewind with the Pause Button, then press Play.
Stopping with the Pause button avoids the compensating jump.

Maybe it's just right if you get drunk enough :-)

They should, or at least provide an OPTION for it.

Another annoyance (at least on the HR10-250) is that you can be
watching a recorded show, and view the guide (maybe someone called and
asked what channel "CSI" was on tonight). The machine (rather rudely)
switches to viewing live TV and fails to switch back afterward. Since
the HR10-250 is so slow, you have to spend much time watching
something you don't want, rather than something you do, then press
more buttons to undo the mess.

Last time I tried that workaround, it was no help at all. Now it's
time to try it again.

Still wrong. While fast forwarding a show at highest speed, I pressed
PAUSE at the 15-minute mark. It still said 15. I then pressed PLAY.
The TiVo stupidly jumped back to 14 before playing.

You must be using a DirecTV HD DVR. Neither of my two DirecTV DVRs
(first and second generation Philips) have that quirk. Each of them
stops immediately with the Pause button and doesn't "jump back" when
resuming Play.

Does your DVR "jump" when the Pause button is pressed twice?

Yes. It never just plays where it's at.

We have a Comcast (now Time Warner) supplied Motorola DVR and that
function is missing from the Motorola box. It is one of the things we
miss a lot from the Tivo. We waste a lot of time now because of the
absence of that function.

I cant see why anyone would want to turn it off. Who the hell can be
accurate @ 60X ?

Considering the OP has shown himself to be a troll in other newsgroups, I
would not be surprised if, well, you know...

It's already been proven to be impossible here in this newsgroup.
