Two TiVo notes for you!
1. I'm sure you know it, but the other readers may not know that the
combination to enable 30 second skip is "select play select 3 0
select".
2. With 30 second skip activated, if you fast forward and press the
"skip" button WHILE FAST FORWARDING, it skips to the next 15 minute
marker! If rewinding, it skips to the previous one. That means you're
still no more than about 3 button presses away from beginning/end, and
you now have more granular control over skipping sections of shows.
It took me over a year to figure out #2 by accident, so I'm sure lots
of people don't know about it.
