Does ROAMIO have instantaneous 30sec forward?

My old TIVO had an instant 30sec forward jump feature in play mode which was very useful.

Now that I switched to ROAMIO, the 30 sec forward jump is much slower, at the order of a second or two, displaying along the way intermediate frames that are more distracting than helpful, so this is a regression in this respect.

Is there a way to enable instant 30 sec forward jump in ROAMIO?

What you encounter is called the 30 second scan and the other is called 30 second skip.

With Premiere and above, you can turn on or off in Live TV or a Recording, but in Live TV, make sure there are no on-screen Tivo dialog, Press Select-Select-Play-Select-3-0-Select-Clear. The 1st Select would bring upbypass the quick guide, and the Clear would prevent the Tivo from changing to channel 30.

Correction, Gave you the code for the onscreen clock.

Baically its the same code, just added a couple presses to bypass features.

Corrected the above post because that is the one for the onscreen clock. Apologies.

I just tried and I can repeat it. If I am on the skip that shows the frames, your code does nothing on my OTA. However if I use the other code which does change it to the instant skip, your code gets rid of the time and counter and keeps the fast skip.

Edit. I see you changed the code from 9 to 3 0 that is why it now works, got it. Thanks.

I have corrected the code, S-S-P-30-S-C... the beginning S and the ending C is optional and would work better on Live TV.
