Read both links. Great stuff! I totally agree about the batch files - something I’ve been wanting for a long time!

I realize the Auto-Transfer feature partly ameliorates this, but I can’t use it because transferring causes whatever is being shown to pixillate like mad, which ruins anything we might be trying to record. So I have to wait until I know we won’t be recording anything, and then set it to transfer manually. Gr.

I also wish the Recently Deleted folder (which I love love love!) would list programs in reverse chronological order. I rarely want to restore something I taped in June! It’s usually something I recorded - and deleted - recently.

First, start playing a recording from Now Playing. The press Select, Play, Select, 3, 0, Select. Now the skip to tick (–>|) button will skip 30 seconds. This has to be done every time the TiVo reboots as well.

And enter the code again to toggle it off.
