Not sure if this is the same on all systems but for those questions that might be answered...
We have 2 HR20-700s
The 30 sec jump or skip button is on the remote for a DVR in the recording control area above and to the right of the round dark PLAY button. Looks like 1 arrow pointing right into a vertical line.
The first clue that the software was updated was the blue circle was lit up when I turned the system on in the morning. Normally I keep this blue ring off as I find it annoying.
Second clue was in the MENU there is a SMART SEARCH function that actually says NEW next to it.
The Multi Room set up is in the MENU under Parental, Fav's & Setup then system setup then Multi-room. (Network setup is also in this area)
Both our receivers were already plugged into the network here via ethernet cables from the receivers port into hubs/switches and into the home network router. This was originally done so we could use the video on demand from the internet that is offered via Directv.
With a couple buttons pushes in the network setup area (see above from Menu) both receivers took their place on the network and then Multi-room was available after that. Now when I go to my LIST of items recorded I see all shows from both machines on either one.
Hope this is helpful.
