Smart Skip

Is Smart Skip something that can skip over commercials?

If so, can it be used thru the Media MVP ?

It can be used to skip commericals...but is disabled by default.

To turn it on go to the webgui, and select configure, and the top option Recording Prefernces, near the bottom you will see SmartSkip go ahead and enable it. If you do it during off-peak hours I believe those are the same as ShowSqueeze hours are set to (like 2am to 7am by default or something like that).

I would say wait about a day for the system to record some shows and generate the chapters. You can see teh chapters in playback on BTV as they will be yellow on the play bar, and you press up to skip forward or down to skip back.

This feature is currently not avaiable in the mediamvp.

Keep in mind the feature is limited. It has been used by ReplayTV for sometime so stations are learning to avoid the commerical cuts. It works also on stations with clearer reception.

-enjoy

Thanks Brett

I use my BTV primarily with the MediaMVP, so it doesn't look like this feature would do me much good. I've recently loaded the latest beta versoin on the MVP app and it now has 30sec skip as well as 10% thru 90% skip feature (via the remote). The 30sec skip gets me thru the commercials pretty quickly.
