the TiVo software is also unbelievably tweekable. If you're computer saavy and don't mind losing rights to TiVo support, you can do some really slick shiit.

tivo = warp forward 30 seconds button. comcast doesn't have that. draw your own conclusions.

Actually, this is the one button that I wish my (DirecTv) TiVo had. It's got the back ~15s button and the forward all the way button, but no forward 30s button (like my Windows MCE remote has). It is the one thing I hate the most about my TiVo.

You can program the Comcast remote to do this...

You can also program the TiVO buttons to do any length of time you want, not just 30 seconds/5 seconds, whatever.

Yeah, but I don't want to take away the "go to the end" capability for the +30s capability. I'm one button short.

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
 

if you ff and hit the arrow, it will skip forward in 15 minute increments. reverse for rw. so even a 3 hour movie will only take a handful of button presses to zoom to the end.

Yeah yeah, I know that. I want to have a +30s button for commercials without fastforwarding and hitting a well-timed "play", even though I've gotten pretty good at this.

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
 

and you said you were worried about losing the "end" feature. i described to you how you're not really losing the functionality if you make the arrow button into a 30s skip. it still retains the ability to skip 15 minute increments.
