Trying to create an easier way to deal with Tivo...for instance one button directly to 'messages & setup' or 'or pick program to record'. The ads (new movies etc..), which are posted in the TIVO option list (why????) screw up any macro, as it can be 3 clicks down or after they post a new ad 4 clicks! Is their a way around this??? maybe turn the ad feature off on Tivo (hack?).

Below is a list of shortcuts copied from the forum here:
[Link: tivocommunity.com]

There are other shortcuts and backdoor codes at the forum such as:
select-play-select-3-0-select turns on 30second skip

TiVo 0 - Plays the TiVo guy boot movie
TiVo 1 - Goes to the Now Playing list. (in 2.5, goes to the Season Pass Manager)
TiVo 2 - Goes to the To Do list.
TiVo 3 - Goes to Wishlists (in 2.x+)
TiVo 4 - Goes to the "Browse By Name" screen.
TiVo 5 - Goes to the "Browse By Channel" screen in 1.3, and to "LiveTV" in 2.0. and back to "Browse By Channel" in 2.5
TiVo 6 - Goes to the "Browse By Time" screen.
TiVo 7 - Goes to the "Record Time/Channel" screen (manual record).
TiVo 8 - Goes to the "TiVo's Suggestions" screen.
TiVo 9 - Goes to the "Network Showcases" screen.
TiVo TiVo - Goes to the Now Playing List (in 2.x+)
TiVo Slow (4.0 only) - Goes to "Messages and Setup"

And TiVo 0 does nothing in 2.x (at least not in Europe, but that may be because TiVo ended their sposnorship with Sky and didn't want to have to redo the boot movie).

Thanks!
