How Does It Work - TiVo BOLT Series Viewer's Manual

SKIPMODE™ FEATURE
WHAT IS THE SKIPMODE FEATURE?
• The SkipMode feature lets you skip ahead to the end of a commercial break and resume watching instantly,
all with the press of button.
MY SHOW DOESN'T HAVE THE SKIPMODE FEATURE AVAILABLE. WHY NOT?
• This feature is available only on select shows, and only after they are finished recording. We hope to make
the feature available for the most popular shows on the most popular channels watched by TiVo subscribers.
That means you'll find SkipMode 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.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• A dedicated team of TV-watchers, who are watching each show live as it airs, note where programming
resumes after commercial breaks in popular programs. This information is communicated by the TiVo
Service to TiVo subscribers who have recorded these programs.
CAN I STILL WATCH WHAT I SKIP?
• Yes! The actual recorded show is never altered, and the commercials remain in the recording -- you can
rewind and watch them at your convenience.
