Codes for Directivo reversible?

[butchd5]

I know you can program the remote to do a 30 second skip (sorry- don't recall the code right now). Is the code reversible or are you "stuck" with the 30 second skip even if you want to go back to the button's original function? If so, how do you reverse it? Also, are any of the other codes revesible? Thanks

I do know that if you reboot the box all the codes that you entered are cleared and your back to operating like they weren't there. I also think that if you enter the codes again it will toggle the change back off.

Thanks- and that brings up another question. If you reboot, do you lose all your future recording setups and have to put them in again?

No, those do not get reset, they will be just like before the reboot.

Select - Play - Select - 30 -Select is the code

Thanks for the help- I just bought Tivo Thursday and it is great!

Which Tivo did you get your hands on Butch?

just curious (at work and cant try it now)... will select/play/select/15/select give a 15 second skip?

 

[riggscm]

bsic, the code just set the behavior of the ->| button, so I think that you could set the time to what ever you like

Just curious... I've used that code before, but it seems like everytime my directivo makes a call home or gets a s/w update I have to enter it again.... Is that normal?
Thanks.

A call home won't/shouldn't reset it, a software upgrade that requires a reboot would.

Do this in the now playing and it brings up the sort option:
(S)low,(0)zero,(R)ecord,(T)humbs up

Select,Play,Select,9,Select turns on the clock in the bottom right corner.Do it again and go to Tivo central and back and it's gone.

No, the ->| button is ONLY programmable with the 30 second skip. No other time is able to be programed as the "S-P-S-3-0-S" code is simple a toggle for a feature, not programming the button with a set time.

Which button are you referring to? I'm not at my machine but I can't figure out which button you are saying it works for???

The "Skip To Live" button (though it doesn't say that...it looks like an arrow with a single bar, hence " ->| ". It's just below the fast forward button.

In the manual it is probably referenced as the Skip to End button, which is its normal action. While in FF or REW it acts as a Skip to Tick button. Which is still its function with the 30s skip enabled.

This is my personal favorite code. I have 3 that I use including 30 second skip. I upgraded my DVR to 157 hours and having the sort by title is a great option when you have a LOT of programs in your now playing list.
