Question
Where can I find information on transferring data from a computer screen to a tv or on a screen?
Answer
While its former main competitor, ReplayTV, had adopted a commercial-skip feature, TiVo decided to avoid automatic implementation of that feature, fearing such a move might provoke backlash from the television industry. ReplayTV was sued over this feature, as well as the ability to share shows over the Internet, and these lawsuits contributed to the bankruptcy of SONICblue, their owner at the time. Their new owner, DNNA, dropped both features in the final ReplayTV model, the 5500. However, the automatic commercial-skip feature was simply replaced with Show|Nav, which requires only the push of the arrow buttons to jump between segments. ReplayTV now has a zero market share, as they no longer manufacture DVR hardware. (TiVo does have a 30-second skip feature, which can be activated by entering Select-Play-Select-3-0-Select on the remote while watching video. It will work both when watching something from the "Now Playing" list or Live TV, assuming you are more than 30 seconds behind, of course. The Advance (aka "skip-to-tick") button then acts as a 30-second-skip button. Entering the code again toggles it off. Similarly, Select-Play-Select-9-Select enables an on-screen clock and elapsed time indicator. Both features are disabled following a reboot and the codes must be re-entered to enable their functionality.)
