QUICK TOUR - SKIPMODE™

With the touch of a button, skip to the end of a commercial break and resume watching instantly.
The SkipMode feature is available only on certain recorded shows; we hope to make it available for the most
popular shows on the most popular channels watched by TiVo subscribers. That means you'll find SkipMode
availability on many shows that you record between 4:30 p.m. and midnight (or 12:30 a.m. on major networks) on
the most widely-watched channels.
A few minutes after the show has finished recording, a SKIP icon will appear next to a show's title in My Shows.
That means it's ready for skipping!
You can also tell if a show has SkipMode by listening for a chime at the beginning of a commercial break.
To use SkipMode:
1. Choose a recorded show with the SKIP icon displayed.
2. When you get to the beginning of a commercial break, listen for a chime to be sure the show is SkipMode-
enabled.
3. Press the D button - the button farthest to the left in the line of buttons between the PAUSE circle and the
number pad on your remote - on your remote. Note that pressing CHANNEL UP works in place of the D
button to use SkipMode. The CHANNEL button is the vertical oval button on the right between the arrow
circle and the Pause circle on your remote.
4. Voilà! You're at the beginning of the next segment.
5. At any time during the show, the D button or CHANNEL UP takes you to the next show segment. For
instance, want to skip the judging on your favorite reality show competition (like The Voice or Dancing with
the Stars)? Just press CHANNEL UP when the judging starts. You'll skip past the judging and through the
next commercial break. Your show will start playing at the beginning of the next segment.
6. To skip back to the beginning of a previous show segment, press CHANNEL DOWN.

Happy skipping!
