Comment on TiVo to charge money for skipping commercials in your own recordingsparent

Comments

there's a 30 second skip button, and also the fast forward button is really well tuned so you watch for the end of the commercial break, hit play, it jumps back a few seconds to where you couldn't react fact enough. It all worked very well somehow.

I loved TiVo for years also until around 2011 or so, when I 'upgraded' my ancient box to whatever their new hardware was. The interface was so laggy I could no longer consistently FF through crap and have it autorewind that couple of seconds to the beginning of the show anymore. That was the impetus for me to cancel TV and sell mine completely, which I don't regret at all.
