Hack #95. Navigation Shortcuts
Remote control shortcuts mean cruising through the TiVo menu system at high velocity.
Typical TiVo menu navigation is serial, moving step-by-step from one window to another using the Next and Previous buttons. While its menu system is rather well laid out and designed for ease of use, after spending a significant amount of time with your TiVo and its remote control, the travel time and number of button presses can prove rather tedious.
Thankfully, a set of navigation shortcuts are built right in allowing you to leap between major menu items in a single bound, that is, a single button press. Table 12-1 lists known remote control shortcuts and their associated menus.
