Jump forward

On my old Tivo HD, if I hit the "Jump Forward" button it would skip forward 30 seconds instantly (I may have installed a cheat code to get it to do that... it's been a long time). On my new Bolt, hitting the same button jumps forward 30 seconds, but it doesn't happen instantly, it takes a second or 2, showing a few frames from that skipped 30 seconds. I suppose some people might like that, but I want it instantly! If I wanted to jump forward 4 minutes, I would press the button 8 times and it...

Tivo Desktop Plus Transfer Problems

Hello,

I have the TIVO Dekstop Plus with a Premier XL 4. As of last week, when I start a transfer of recordings from the DVR to my laptop (running Windows 10), the transfer starts but immediately stops with the message: "Transfer interrupted. DVR is busy transferring other files." Sometimes I get a message that the file can't be found. Prior to last week, this happened occasionally, but within a few minutes, the transfer would restart. Now, nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled the...

Do I need to re-run guided setup, when moving to new zipcode, but not changing cable provider?

I will be moving to a new house (a 1 mile move).
I will have the same cable provider.
However, my zip code will change.

According to the official Tivo support:
http://ift.tt/2sszGBg
one has to re-run guided setup when changing zip codes.
But is this really necessary, if the cable provided (and channel lineup) will stay the same?
The zipcode listed in the "System Information" will be incorrect, but does that...

What are you watching this Summer? (2017 edition)

I only ask because I have NOTHING, pretty much, in my TiVo To Do List but game shows and iZombie.

TiVo XL4, replacement Bolt+ go belly up, TiVo flakes on monthly plan

I've been a TiVo customer for over 15 years. My XL4 went into an infinite reboot loop last week, so I ordered a replacement Bolt+. When I called to activate it, the nice lady on the phone gave me the following service plan:

TiVo Service Plan - $6.95 - Service only, No Commit, Monthly

... which is confirmed via an email. The new TiVo Bolt+ worked for less than 24 hours, and then promptly stopped decoding content.

I had Comcast guys here checking everything for 4+ hours, and we...

Roamio Chopping Recordings/Not Recording/Freezing

I've had various TiVo boxes for a long time (about 12 years). In 2015 my current one crashed. I was bummed, but mine all seem to last about 5 years, so I was expecting it. I decided to get a Roamio. I bought one with lifetime service and a Mini for the other room. It came to about $800. I used the exact same cables, cable card and tuning adapter I had for my old TiVo. Since then, Cox has given me a new cable card and tuning adapter to try and address my problem.

I didn't have problems...

Plex no longer working on bolt for me

Since the latest update to Plex Media Server (windows) Plex no longer works on the Bolt for me. When I attempt to play a video, the video will start playing as normal but the 3 dots in the middle the screen and the overlay UI don't go away... the video will play for a few minutes then will stop with the message "The video did not start playing in time." (even though it was already playing). This happens regardless of what video I try to play.

It all worked fine before plex media server...
