Is 30 second skip really gone?

[jfh3]

According to the engadget review, the 30 second skip code is gone (SPS30).

I know there is a new default 30 second "scan", but can anyone verify that the tried-and-true skip code really is gone?

If so,

There are two "unofficial features" Tivo shouldn't mess with - the 30 second skip and the ability to expand the internal hard drives.

If the SPS30 code is indeed gone, I hope Tivo quickly restores it. And ditto on the endgaget big thumbs down to reordering season passes locking up the entire box - never understood why this can't go in the background (or give the user the option to disrupt live processing to do SP maintenance).

No it isn't. they just added a 30 sec scan feature. The code still works.

No.

Mods - please feel free to delete this thread - the answer is already in the FAQ (which I neglected to check)

I prefer the sweep. I'm frequently looking for just certain content on stock programs. I occasionally miss some content with the skip and have to backtrack. Sweep should be better for me.
