"skip-to-live" button on the DirecTiVo remote control

In "Hacking Tivo" by Jeff Keegan, performing the 30-second commercial skip
'hack' (Play-Select-Play-3-0-Select) causes a thirty second skip to occur
when you press the "skip-to-live" button.

Where is the "skip-to-live" button on my DirecTivo (HDVR2) remote?

Or am I screwed because there isn't one?

Not having fun with the other TiVo reindeer, I remain,

of course!

Hrm... looking through it, it strikes me that it may help you to know that
the button is also called the "Advance" button.

It looks like a right-facing arrow with a vertical line at the right end.

That's one of the problems one faces when writing about a technology that
is implemented by several manufacturers... Hughes' "Advance" is someone
else's "skip-to-live".

Thanks Lenroc!
