And how do you put it back?
I think the only way you can put it back is via a restart.
You just re-enter the SPS30S code – it is a toggle. And in the latest software a restart does *not* reset it, it survives a reboot now.
Same for SPS9S, SPS7S, SPSIRS, and such.
What does SPS9S, SPS7S, SPSIRS, do?
Any other interesting customizations?

This is not a hack. It is an undocumented feature or at worst an easter egg. To call it a hack is giving the person that enables it WAY too much credit.
GigG,
Hence the reason why I put the work Hack in quotes. You’re right, it’s not really a hack.
Any luck finding a 30 sec jump in the newer TiVo HD XL? SPS30S works with my old TiVo but not with my XL!
SPS30S does work on the HD XL
MegaZone,
Your are right… SPS30S works on the XL! I must have done something wrong before. I tried 9 ways to Sunday to get it working and I was bombing out somehow. I saw your note tonight and tried it again (twice), and it worked the second time. Thanks!
@John,
Glad it worked for you. SPS30S can be a hard remote combination to get right. I’ve done it before where it didn’t work for me either.
Does it work on the Series 3? I can’t seem to get it.
@bob,
The 30 second skip hack does work on the Series 3.
Thanks Alex, Maybe the problem is with the code input on the remote. I’ll keep trying.
I thought with the fall software update (last week) maybe it stopped working.
I think you must make sure to be playing a pre-recorded program
when you program the remote control with the SPS30S sequence..
