Tivo Commercial Killer Hack
They call this a hack, but it's really an Easter Egg. Reprinted from Home Theater Hacks, these are instructions for converting the Tivo 
(fastforward) button into a commercial killer. Unfortunately, if I read this correctly, it also eliminates the original skip function of the button, which is pretty useful in its own right :(
Bring up any recorded program or Live TV. Then, enter the following sequence on your remote:
Select -> 
(play)-> Select -> 3 -> 0 -> Select
(play)-> Select -> 3 -> 0 -> SelectYou'll know the combination worked when TiVo rings out three Thumbs Up sounds; that chiming "bling!" sound TiVo makes when you press the 
(thumbs up) button on your remote control. Your button will now skip forward by 30 seconds.

Very handy. Do they have a way to turn the feature back off?
Not that I can tell, short of rebooting.
