Looking for a great way to speed through those commercials with your TiVo? Sure you could use the old fashioned way and hold down the fast forward button, or you could you this hack over at Ecoustics.com that lets you program a 30 second skip button. The mini-tutorial states:
One of the religious differences between TiVo and ReplayTV owners is how they fast forward through commercials. While TiVo's FF button will get you through those intrusive breaks soon enough, it requires some trained skill to manipulate those FF and Play buttons while keeping a keen eye and trusting your instincts to anticipate the end of the commercials. ReplayTV, on the other hand, has a "30-second skip" button, timed specifically for skipping through commercials. Since television commercials are traditionally a multiple of 30 seconds long, ReplayTV owners just hit the "30-second skip" button three to five times to render commercials only a minor annoyance.
The article goes on:
Don't you wish TiVo had a 30-second skip? It does, thanks to a little easter egg magic.
Well, were not going to give the hack away here, you need to drop by Ecoustics for the little secret.
