15 second or 30 second fast-forward button

I have the Contour2 with Voice remote, so can only comment about this one.  The Pg^, Pgdown WILL allow a 5min jump either way on any recorded video or live show.  The FastF is the only way to skip along at either 2x, 3x etc.  If you quickly press the exit button, you can get rid of the FF screen just a tad quicker than waiting for the screen to clear.

However, the Pg^ button should be made to be programed by the users.  5sec, 10sec or anything.  Many computer video playback programs allow the use of the left/right keyboard arrows to do this. 

Also,   I'm not sure what the online WatchTV allows....but most of us are TV live or DVR users.  I watched some Prime movie last night and wished I had a 5sec jump back to re-read some sub-titles.  I also watch movies on the TV that I have copied to a Flash Drive.  When I watch these, my TV remote (Cox remote does not allow controlling a Flash drive) will allow a jump fwd/back.  Since the time is in seconds, multiple pressing the button moves the jump along.  Cox's remote moves it along in 5min increments.

COX can do this if they put their mind to it.  Since the Pg^ already has a 5min jump, allowing the re-programing should be easier.  COX will argue that the FF and pause gives users enough control.
