Just wondering.

Yes

No, it has 30 second SLIP.

No, it has 30 second SLIP.

And just as a reference, with the FF and SLIP speed improvements from the last updates, it takes just around 2 seconds for the HR20 to SLIP through 30 seconds of programming.

It's close enough to SKIP now that no one cares!

I don't know about "no one", but it is certainly fast enough for me.

That's great news. I use the 30-second skip on my DTV Tivo model for watching replays of football games. When I hit the skip button at the end of a play, they are almost always lining up for the next play. It's a great way to watch a 3-hour game in 40-45 minutes.

I for one like it better than the skip. 1.5 - 2 secs for 30 seconds and you can see things in case you whip past your stop point. Very nice indeed.

I'm starting to like the slip better than skip. If one watches closely, you can queue up several slips and hit play whenever the show resumes.

Cheers,

That's exactly how I use it myself. I put in 5 to 7 and have my finger waiting over the play button. As soon as I see program material, I hit play and it cancels any pending slips.

Once in a show, I can usually just hit 5 or 6 and that number will hold for most of the commercials...works very well now for me. (and I prefer it to the 30 sec skip built into my Panasonic DVD recorder...it's an advantage to see the program material)
