Not sure on how many different TiVo's this works on, but it works with my TiVo I have for DirecTV.
If you TiVo is compatible, the following will change the "go to the end" button (looks like ">|") to now be a 30-second skip. I seldom, if ever need the "go to end" button, but the 30-second skip can be really handy. Since most commerical are in blocks of 30 seconds, you can skip over many of them just be hitting the button a couple times.
** Note this will change the functionality of the "go to end" button ***
Either switch to watching live video or play a show you have recored. Then press the following button sequence on the remote control:
[SELECT]
[PLAY]
[SELECT]
[3]
[0]
[SELECT]
To switch back to normal mode, I believe you have to reset your TiVo.
Also, at times it may reset and no longer function after certian updates in your Tivo. Has happened a few times over the last six months. Best to print this out and keep it handy ;)
