50% longer (and correct) answer is yes. You can use "skip to tick" just like in recording playback.

The even longer answer is .......YES!

Just as spiderman said!:)

The following reply came from the VM Tivo support forum....


Hi Fixerman,

We don't have the 10-minute skip via numbers like on the V+ but if you press fastforward and the 30-sec skip button you will jump to the nearest white bar in the timeline (this is typically 15 minutes). I think you can do the same thing with the opposite buttons to rewind.

I just called to order the TiVo box and I was put through to a rep who seemed quite unsure of what he was saying and he said that I would lose my loyalty discount if I order TiVo.

Also, he said that I don't need to quote the code I was given in the email but I was told by customer services that I do need to quote the code because it is specific to my account.

What's going on?!

I think the reason that you have not been asked for the code is due to the fact that new customers can order the box ( I may be wrong on that one ).

Some people have been told that they will lose the loyalty discount but when they have called again they will not lose it.

So i think that it is pot luck who you get through to:)

You shouldn't lose your discounts. I'd ring back and check again. If they say you will, then ring customer care (the 'I'm thinking of leaving' option; they aren't just for people tbinking of leaving). They should put things right.

Gotcha.

So the code that I got in the email is irrelevant right?

The TiVo guy on the phone said that everyone was given the same code.
