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...

Contour 1 has a 7 second "Skip back" button. I FF 6x through commercials and press "Play" then "Skip back" 2 or 3 times. I really don't like to sit through commercials. From the start of a normal length commercial to resume watching the program takes around 20 seconds. I think my thumb has developed muscle memory for that sequence of button pushes.
I did an Internet search for "contour 2 remote skip back" and found a May, 2019 post with the subject "Cox Cable Contour 2 - 30 second skip button Code" in another support forum. It showed how to program the page up button to skip 30 seconds forward and the page down button 15 seconds back.
Apparently Contour 2 doesn't have a skip back button like Contour 1 has, but it may be possible to program a remote to perform skip forward and skip back. Please note, this is just something I read and not something I've tried or know will work.
If somebody tries the reprogramming of their Contour 2 remote for the 30 second skip forward and 15 second skip back, please let us know your results.
Did anyone try reprogramming their Contour 2 remote for the 30 second skip forward and 15 second skip back?
CurtB...I looked thru the Forum on that Contour 2 remote reprogram, tried it and could not make it work. The response I got from Cox, on Nov14 ...."We do not officially support this requested feature. However, I will submit this request to our programming team on your behalf. I hope that we are able to support this in the future.?
Being able to adjust the skip fwd/bk would be so fantastic. The current set is 5min. Its alright when you have large sections that you want to jump. I would like to bring mine down to almost 15sec, instead of using the FFwd button. Does anyone know if the disk reader on the DVR is a laser, so that FF and extremely does not ruin the surface...probably the spin up/back may have some physical impact on the hardware. Not sure is a jump process is different than FF on hardware. We need to keep asking and see if we can get more responses!
