Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Tivo
  • Tivo Remote Control
  1. Step 1

    Begin playing a show that you have previously recorded.

  2. Step 2

    While the show is playing press: Select -- Play -- Select -- 3 -- 0 -- Select

  3. Step 3

    You should hear the Tivo "bongs" at this time. If you do not hear the "bongs" repeat the above steps.

  4. Step 4

    Play a recorded show and test the advance button to confirm it skips ahead 30 seconds.

Tips & Warnings
  • To turn off this feature repeat the steps above
