Wouldn't it take 30 seconds to push all of those buttons?

Pushing those buttons - no. They left out the part where you have to stand on your head with your left eye closed and only one shoe on while you point the remote at the mirror which reflects it back at the box and do all that. And then it only works on leap years.

Actually, once I read the source document I realized you only have to enter this sequence once to "unlock" the function:

"All you have to do is hit the following keys:

1. Rewind
2. Slow
3. Fast Forward
4. Play
5. 3
6. 0
7. Advance

Now the button with the right arrow under the fast forward button will advance 30 seconds whether you're watching live, recorded, or on-demand programs."

Score!
