Hit and HOLD play and it should go slo mo. Try it on your original remote.christo76 said:Is there a slow motion ability on the HR20?
Thought I read that hitting play again would do slow mo, it didn't work.
Tried it on both remotes, Harmony 880 and HR20 remote.
Its not a huge thing, but it is a nice feature. Its one of those features they used to advertise like crazy to get people to get Tivo/DVRs.
Press and hold 30-sec slip. It should take you to live TV/end of bufferchristo76 said:Also,

For Live TV... hit the EXIT or STOP button.christo76 said:Also,

This is pertinent to the slo-mo topic how?glennb said:You're better off with an HR20 than and HR10. The HR20 does MPEG4 and the HR10 does not.
The HR20 works differently than a TiVo but it's not worse than the TiVo. The software is a lot faster. I don't have to wait around for 30 seconds for it to process when I tell it to record a show or set up a season pass like I did with my DIRECTV/TiVo HDVR2.
I'm pretty sure that will only work for recordings. To skip to the end of the buffer (and to go back to live TV), hold down the 30 second slip button for 3 seconds.christo76 said:Earl,
I tried what you suggested. Pressing Exit or Stop to be taking from some spot in the buffer to live tv, but it doesn't work.
Does that only work if you are watching a recording show?
Gets to be a hassle to catch up if you are 70 minutes into the buffer and want to get to live without losing all the buffer, especially if you are on Cartoon network during AdultSwim with a bunch of 15min shows. I can get a few 'skip to end' tricks to work, but trying to get through 6 just makes the girlfriend very angry.
That only gets you to the end of the buffer on the screen, which is one show. If I have 90 minutes of buffer, with 3 shows in there. Each time I hold the 30 sec slip it only goes to the end of one show and the beginning of the next. So you need to do that 3 times, at least on mine I do. If you are watching Adult Swim where there are several 15 minute shows, you only see 15 min of buffer and have to "slip to end" through each one. A huge hassle especially if you are using a Harmony 880.PoitNarf said:I'm pretty sure that will only work for recordings.

My slow motion never worked right. It isn't the timing thing for me - sometimes it will work great, like it should per the instructions - other times (most), the banner just flickers at the bottom when I hold the play and it never kicks in, nor does the blue light on the circle start to go around. I have tried every timing scenerio possible - it has to be the unit - I can't be that bad with timing, at least I hope not.911medic said:Just be aware that the slo-mo feature requires some timing. You have to hold it down for just the right amount of time, then let go. If you hold too long, it goes back into "play" mode. You'll see the LED ring slowly start to spin when the slo-mo activates.
