Honestly I don't use either. I prefer 2x or 3x FFW then replay a couple times out of the break.

I always hated the 30 sec skip on a Tivo and never used it, perferring FFW as above. But with all the raves about the new slip I may need to give it a try.

Agreed that no matter how much outcry there is for 30 second skip ala Tivo, DirecTV will never impliment it. They will take some crying users any day vs. intense pressure from the networks or even a lawsuit or two. Replay was basically sued out of existance due to their commercial skip. I think the only reason that Tivo has gotten away with it for so long is because it's a "backdoor" and the vast majority of Tivo users have no idea it's there. Thus is stays under the radar. There is a reason why it's still a backdoor code after all these years.

Plus the fact that eventually a "true" 30 seconds skip will be gone from all DVR's as the media companies threaten DVR makers. There is a BIG reason why the 30 sec skip on Tivo isn't a supported feature and is only available by a backdoor code. It's only a matter of time.

Not saying I agree or that it's right...
