How to skip through commercials with your TiVo® DVR

Fast Forward through commercials with your TiVo DVR

When you’re watching TV with a TiVo DVR, you’re in control. Skip the parts you don’t want to see—just press the FAST FORWARD button on your TiVo remote. Press it up to three times for triple-fast skipping.

And if you fast-forward too far, just press INSTANT REPLAY to jump back 8 seconds.

Watch what you want

How to skip through commercials If something catches your eye while you’re speeding through commercials, like a cool new movie trailer, just press PLAY and enjoy it. TiVo puts you in control of TV, whether you’re watching programs or commercials. Watch what you want to watch.

So grab your TiVo remote, and take control.

Tip: If you’re watching a program live, like an awards show, tune in to the channel at the start time, and press PAUSE. Take 15-20 minutes to get your snacks and drinks ready. Then when you start playing, you can skip through each commercial break.
