Program my TiVo

[Mike Teacher]

All these threads on TV shows past and present...

Long story short, I have a TiVo up and running, but I am clueless with the hundreds of channels as to what is worth TiVo-ing these days. Been out of the loop.

meaning, what's on now that you would call Must See. Stuff like News and ESPN Sportscenter and Weather Channel are givens, I mean those specific shows you think are either just frigging Awesome, or Important to watch.

Thanx in Advance.

Im Monmouth Cablevision in NJ if that helps, just assume I have the channel; if I dont, of well...

Im big on science, comedy, documentaires, old movies, obscure movies, old TV, horror, sci-fi [but not really, most isnt as good as Sci-Fact,for me... I not a Star Trek fan past the original...] music stuff but not MTV, unless they have a show worth watching, true crime [not the CSI ficion], and, of course, anything that parades around hot women.

Anyone? Beuller?

NIP/TUCK (on FX Network) is an amazing show. It's always solid....except for that horrible episode that took place in Julias mind as she was going under anesthesia. You can rent the 1st season on DVD.


LOST on abc seems likes a good one. Only two episodes so far but, it looks good.

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is the best show since LARRY SANDERS.

Pretty much anything on TLC, Discovery, or Animal Planet is worth watching.

I Tivo'd a movie on IFC about Frank Frazetta. It was awesome and I know you'd love it. Just search using his name.

Tivo Hack
The 30-Second Skip
Forget about fast forwarding through commercials; blaze through in just three to five clicks of your remote
One of the religious differences between TiVo and ReplayTV owners is how they fast forward through commercials. While TiVo's button will get you through those intrusive breaks soon enough, it requires some trained skill to manipulate those and buttons while keeping a keen eye and trusting your instincts to anticipate the end of the commercials. ReplayTV, on the other hand, has a 30-second skip button, timed specifically for skipping through commercials. Since television commercials are traditionally a multiple of 30-seconds long, ReplayTV owners just hit the 30-second skip button three to five times to render commercials only a minor annoyance.

This feature is so effective that it has stirred up quite a bit of controversy with the networks, who are getting their hackles up, labeling commercial skipping as theft and even taking ReplayTV to court.

Don't you wish TiVo had a 30-second skip? It does, thanks to a little Easter egg magic.

The button on the TiVo remote will bring you to the end of a program, or if you are at the end, it will bring you to the beginning. If you are fast forwarding, the button will skip you to the next tick mark. This hack is all about repurposing that button to act as the 30-second skip.

Bring up any recorded program or Live TV. Then, enter the following sequence on your remote:

Select *£ *£ Select *£ 3 *£ 0 *£ Select

You'll know the combination worked when TiVo rings out three Thumbs Up sounds*¦that chiming "bling!" sound TiVo makes when you press the button on your remote control. Your button will now skip forward by 30 seconds.

Note that this hack is not permanent. If at any time your TiVo needs to be rebooted*¦after becoming unplugged or as a result of a power failure*¦the hack will go away and you will have to reapply it.

And here I thought you were going to give us all access to your TiVo's web interface.

Select *£ *£ Select *£ 3 *£ 0 *£ Select


Since this didn't come out right, here's the hack. Point the remote at your TiVo and hit these buttons in order:

"select"
"play"
"select"
"3"
"0"
"select"

You'll get the tones to tell you that you've gotten it right.
