Or, enter 1-1-5-RIGHT and it will jump ahead 1hr 15min.
Or, enter 2-1-5-RIGHT and it will jump ahead 2hr 15min.

Note that 9-9-RIGHT is 1hr 39min and 1-0-0-RIGHT is 1 hr, so I recommend 
using minutes up to 59 and then hrs and minutes above that (otherwise it 
can be confusing).

Or 2-RWNDSTICKY ("<") will jump to 2 minutes from the start of the 
recording.
Or 2-FFWDSTICKY (">") will jump to 2 minutes from the end of the 
recording (great for checking to see if you got the end of a show before 
watching).
Or JUMPBKMRK ("K") will jump to the bookmark.
