New Trick for HR10-250

[FastEddie]

I have the 6.3a update.

OK I don't know if anybody found this yet. I kept having problems with the skip sometimes going to the end of the program and not just 30 sec. Well I figured out how it works (I tried it on both of my Hr10-250's).

While fast forward or rewinding (not skipping) press the skip forward button (not the skip back) and it will take you to the next 15 minute marker, keep pressing the forward skip (while your are fast winding forward or back) and you can go to the beginning or end of the show.


Neat trick.

After playing some more I found this only works on recorded shows. On live TV with the buffer it just goes to the beginning or end.

Can anybody confirm if this worked for them?

Yes, I've been using this for more than a year. Since I use a Harmony remote and the buttons are not one for one with the TiVo remote you need to experiment to see which buttons on the Harmony operate the TiVo remote's buttons. While doing this I found this feature. I assumed everyone using a regular remote already did this. Anyway, it goes to the next marker whether 15, 30 or 60 minute markers depending on how long your recording is. During US Open, which is like 8 hours the markers are 1 hour apart.

I didn't think this feature was available on 3.1.5F. I have never seen any threads about this either.

This is how it's always worked on the Tivos.

I've been doing that for years with my TiVos. And I believe the "Rewind/Skip" during live programs prior to 6.3 did not take you to the beginning, but does now after 6.3.

Nice tip for those that don't know already, though!

i have been doing this on all my tivo dvr's and hd dvr

The new thing is the ability to zap back to the beginning of a live buffer. It's pretty nice.

Thanks, I have been wandering if there was a way to do this.
