Super Secret TiVo 30-second Skip!
My coworker Reed shared some exciting news with me last week: there is a hidden "easter egg" with TiVo which allows you to skip forward 30 seconds with a push of a button. This means you can completely skip entire commericals instead of fast-forwarding through them. All you do is go to any recorded program and press: select, play, select, 3, 0, select. You'll hear three TiVo beeps and then you're good to go--the "skip-to-hash" button will allow you to skip commercials! There is a good breakdown of the process at bigmarv.net.

The button is officially the 'Advance' button - looks like '->|'. Entering SPS30S again will toggle it off, and it will reset with a reboot.
Similarly SPS9S turns on an on-screen clock and elapsed time indicator.
Nerd alert.
