The Tivo 30-second Commercial Skip Hack
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 04:00 PM
"One of the religious differences between TiVo and ReplayTV owners is how they fast forward through commercials. While TiVo's 
button will get you through those intrusive breaks soon enough, it requires some trained skill to manipulate those and 
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."
