**** And, yes, I really mean "VCR" buttons, and not DVR buttons. IMHO, fast forward and rewind are only actions performed by people who are thinking in VCR terms. DVRs are random-access, so there's no need to fast forward, and I can't think of a situation where you'd get a benefit from fast forwarding versus just skipping some appropriate-for-what-you're-<u></u>skipping amount.<br>

+1 to that. I don't use FF/RW at all - I only ever use the jump keys.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I disagree. FF/RW are very important...I have problems understanding some dialog sometimes, and it's nice to be able to RW to hear it. Plus, sometimes the commercial skip isn't perfect (or just plain doesn't work) and I need to FF through commercials. I see no reason to get rid of this crucial functionality. </div>
