Fast Forward/Rewind
Why are the fast forward and rewind functions for the DVR so imprecise? Perhaps this is related to the Coutour 2 box response issue; perhaps not. Either way, it is incredibly difficult to resume wa...

Yes CurtB, we did gab about some differences between 1 & 2. Voice is one I sometimes use and the quick search by pressing a single number key, takes a little getting used to. I'm starting to like the Recording/Scheduling and how it tells me how much I've watched of a show. The icons are kinda big. Episodes available on a past show is really neat, allows me to search for past shows of something and either OnDemand and record. Not see a Contour 1 screen, so it's hard to tell whats better.
Having the ability to program the Jump to fwd/back could be neat, since the current 5 min is a lot. I've gotten better at the >>Fwd and back and even using the exit to quickly get back to the show and remove markings..like you say, thumb memory. However, I'm starting to get slow remote response, even with a new battery. I see some postings about this and will go investigate. I sometimes record a live game and watch about an hr later to kill the commercials.. but this remote response.
The only time I've noticed a slow response is when I get close to catching up to live for something that is still being recorded, like a ball game. (I watch ball games slightly delayed too in order to avoid commercials). Pause, FF and rewind have a noticeable delay when I get near the end of the recording. But, there's no delay until I get to within a few minutes of live, so it's not an issue for me. I just allow time to let each button-push complete during the short time until I catch up to live.
