Skip started working again for everyone, no reboot required. You just happened to reboot before it started working again. Coincidence.

You will never get skip on everything.
What are some shows/dates/times that you expect Skip but do not get it?

If you don't record ABC/CBS or NBC in prime time, you probably won't see any auto skip. As I don't record much on these channels, I cannot remember the last time I watched a recording that auto skipped commercials.
I think TiVo has cut back on the folks that handle marking the commercials for auto skip.

God, this again?
Every time it doesn’t work for someone they bring out the “TiVo is firing the people that do this from their basements” bull.
It’s still a feature. It still works.
If it’s not working for you there’s very likely a technical reason why. Not a cut-back in services.

I also have Skip on those shows. Skip relies on closed-captioning to function, maybe there is a signal problem during your recording that disrupts closed captioning?

Yup WHEN it works..... It works on EXTEMLY limited amount of channels and programs. Multiple post on this same issue. No biggie for me, as it rarely ever worked for me anyway.
Also, Could you also please share the technical reasons why it doesn't work on some devices? Inquiring minds want to know....

It’s ALWAYS only been available on the top 20 stations during prime time.
As for technical reasons, in short, it relies on the closed captioning to know where to place the skips. If there is anything wrong or different about your local broadcast’s CC, it won’t work.
The data also needs to be downloaded to your local device after the program ends. If anything prevents or delays that, it won’t be available for you.
As seen above, I had Skip for 911 and another user didn’t. So just because it doesn’t work for one person doesn’t mean TiVo is reducing their Skip workforce or the amount of programs supported.
