Comcast DVR Remote Skip

A few notes about skipping around on the DVR's. Page up and page down will skip you 5 minutes forward or backwards. For a less drastic skip, check out below!

1. Choose an unused or unneeded button on the “silver” remote to be the 30-second skip command. I use the little yellow triangle

2. Press the “Cable” button at the top of the remote to put it into Cable Box control mode.
3. Press and hold the “Setup” button until the “Cable” button blinks twice.
4. Type in the code 994. The “Cable” button will blink twice.
5. Press (do not hold) the “Setup” button.
6. Type in the code 00173.
7. Press whatever button you want to map the 30-second skip command to. Like I said before, I use the yellow triangle.

    Giving this a try. Never thought to skip, just FF or RW at 2x & 3x.
    Nice one.

    Are you ready for this: Broadcast Flag in a shiny new Selectable Output Control package. Icky.

    I think FCC will backpedal this one.
