A backdoor.  If you enter Select-Play-Select-3-0-Select on the remote
the Advance button (looks like ->|) switches to jumping ahead in
30-second increments instead of jumping to the end.  I use that to
skip ads instead of FF.

That's just television, a lot of programs have ads at the start
and/or end.  TiVo just records what is broadcast.

Without 30SS turned on the Advance button will jump right to the end
of the recording, and the next press jumps to the start.  With 30SS on
you can hit FF then Advance - each press on Advance jumps forward to
the next tick mark, and eventually to the end.  Doing the same thing
in RW jumps back.
