“How do you skip forward and backward 30 seconds with this remote? My current remote has a button dedicated to skipping forward to help eliminate commercials. I don't see one on this remote, and was wondering if there was a shortcut. Also, what about going up or down one screen on the cable guide? How do you do that with this remote? Thank you!”

You can configure this feature to your liking. Out of the box though you would need to hold the fast forward button a few seconds and then it will begin the 30 second skip. I've changed mine to perform this by simply clicking on it, instead of holding down the button. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Long press on FF to skip....up/down on the diamond shaped button around the OK to page up n down. You can also program buttons to do whatever you want
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Right below off button you have 2 arrows on left for backwoods to rewind 1 arrow to stop 2 arrows on right to fast forward
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Skipping forward and backward is done by holding the fast forward and rewind button for 1-2seconds. Paging through your guide is done with the channel up and down. The directional pad moves up and down one channel at a time while in the guide. You can also customize buttons. There is a lot of flexibility. I recommend getting the one with the separate transmitter. It works with an app on your phone and is easier to set up with your phone. Remote automatically updates changes made with your phone. I started with the cheap remote and then the keyboard. I added this one later so o could control more than 8 devises. But if you don't need that the cheaper remote without the screen is just fine. I use my phone a lot anyway.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The ff and rw buttons can be programmed to do both actually. I have mine set up as a quick press is a skip forward or skip back and a long press and hold is a full fast forward or rewind. Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can program any button to do any function using the PC/Mac companion app
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.there is not a 30 second skip but there are several speeds of FF or RW and also a touch screen you can swipe with. To page up or down in guide use the channel up/down.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should be able to program one of the screen buttons to do exactly that. May have to use the original remote (or may not).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are buttons at the top of the remote to fastforward and reverse. To channel up or down on the remote, use the button that has the "ch" on it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The "advance" function on the touch screen will help skip through commercials. The "page up" or "page down" will help you scroll through the guide. I have Comcast DVR.
