Programming the 30 Second Skip Function on TiVo Series 1, Series 2, and DirectTivo

Since we posted the tutorial about programming the 30 second skip on the Motorola DVR, we thought we'd show you how to program TiVo with the 30 second skip. So for all of our wonderful readers, here are the steps for programming the 30 second skip feature on the TiVo Series 1, Series 2, and DirectTivo.

While watching a recording, press

• Select


• Play


• Select


• 30


• Select

Try out the skip by pressing the "advance" button on your remote. It should skip through the recording by 30-second jumps.

If you've successfully entered the code, you'll hear three "dings" in succession to inform you that you've successfully enabled the 30 second skip.

Power outages and software updates will require you to re-enable the 30 second skip feature, so keep these codes handy
