Make the TiVo play bar disappear quickly

When watching live tv or a recording, using the playback features like pause, instant replay, fast forward and rewind cause the play bar to be displayed on the screen. Once play resumes, this bar stays on screen for a few seconds sometimes obscuring important stuff on screen.


A simple code causes the TiVo play bar to disappear quickly when resuming play. To enable this mode, press the following remote control buttons while you are watching a recorded show:

    Select Play Select Pause Select

Entering the code again will turn off this feature.

    About a month ago I said “Doggone it! I’m sick of the bar staying on so long! I’m going to go online and find a way to get rid of it quicker. In the mean time I’m going to hit the ‘clear’ button.” Now I find this useful article that I’ve given up looking for, but I’m used to the ‘clear’ button now so I may or may not try it. While I’m posting this first comment I wanted to say this is a cool website you have here (found while searching ‘disable location firefox 4′ and after only 20 minutes of perusing your articles) and I thank all you contributors for your well written articles.
