FAQ Topic: Genie 30-sec FAQs

Every once in a while, when I hit the 30-sec forward it goes ALL the way to the end of the program. Why?

That used to be a known bug, but appears to have been squashed. If you're still experiencing it, try resetting your DVR by pressing the red button on the front of the box. If that doesn't do it, switch between "SLIP" and "SKIP" and try again. If still no joy, contact DIRECTV about possibly upgrading to the latest Genie DVR hardware/firmware.

Will it work on my Genie Mini TVs?

Yes. Just as with the Hopper Joeys, this feature seamlessly transfers to all TVs hooked up to your network via wired or wireless Genie Minis. In all our tests, there were no buffering or out-of-sync issues, even with wireless set-ups.

How long does it take to skip through a typical commercial block?

Assuming 5 commercials per programming break and the 30-sec SLIP, it'll take 1.5 X 5, or about 7.5 seconds. With the 30-sec SKIP, as fast as you can click the remote button.
