Tivo Secret for Adam

I was listening to the 20040412 show (Ron Perlman), and at about 14:30, Adam begins to complain that he always overshoots when he is fast-forwarding through commercials on his Tivo. From the way he was talking about it, it sounded like he didn't enable the "secret" 30-Second skip feature. Because most commercials are 30 seconds in duration, tapping the 30-second skip button cues past the commericals very effectively.

Below is a link that has instructions for enabling the feaure. If anyone is motivated to call in, please mention it to the Aceman.

Why the hell'd they call it an "easter egg"? An easter egg (aside from the literal meaning) is a secret little thing programmers put into programs or video games with no useful feature, like a secret credit screen, or a Christmas tree showing up on 12/25. This is an obscure feature, not an easter egg.

Ha ha -- Hey Dark Laith -- I found a crazy easter egg at the Loveline Companion: If you click the button marked "Forum" on the home page, you can actually access a message board where fans of the show chat and share information. But shhhhh... don't tell anyone 'cause it's a secret.

Seriously though, does anyone know if there's a similar feature with Comcast's DVR (which is roughly the equivalent to TIVO)? I have the same problem -- I always over-shoot the commercials by about ten to twenty seconds, then I have to rewind to get back to the program.
