<pre wrap="">True, but not really the point. FF/REW should still work, regardless of why
it is being used.</pre>

I think Steve was either misunderstanding what I meant by using the
FF/REW keys, or not, implying I should be using the Z key option,
which as I mentioned in my reply to him gave me problems years ago
and so I got out of the habit of using. Plus occasionally there is
a commercial worthy of watching. :)<br>

Check your database for crashed tables - plenty of tutorials and previous
posts on this, so a Google exercise for you!</pre>

Ooo, sneaky! <g><br>
<br>
OK, found this:
<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }a:link { }</style><a
href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Repairing_the_Seektable"><font
face="Norasi"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Repairing_the_Seektable</font></font></a>
<br>
<br>
How do I know if the Seektable is corrupted? Sure, have the "unable
to skip forward/backward cor
<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }a</style>rectly"
option. Also not quite sure what a 'cutlist' is -- couldn't find
anything I understood. A little bit concerned over the page's <i><b>Note:</b></i><i>
After rebuilding the seektable, any cutlist which
has created for a recording will no longer be properly synced and
should be recreated. </i><br>
<br>
Admittedly being chicken -- just want to not make things worse.
...Now off to check the database for crashed tables. First,
find.....<br>
