Hi. I’m on RCN in Chicago. I had two TiVos which were working fine. I found out RCN had IPTV service with DVR so I went ahead and ordered. They took my cable cards and now I’m stuck with the TiVos which I can’t use. I tried to get the cards back and they said once you go IPTV, you can’t go back (basically, they won’t switch you back). Ok fine. The new boxes have the TiVo interface but not all the functions that make it amazing. Two huge functions that are missing and I use all the time are commercial skip and quick play.

I’ve looked around for maybe a hack to get those functions, but I’m sure it’s up to the cable company if they include them. Since the IPTV boxes are running on Android, I would think someone could hack it eventually. It does have side loading capability, so there’s hope. If anyone knows of anything, please let me know.
