Hi Monkey Pet!

Agree. Here in the U.S. or maybe it’s just us we’ve been having issues 
with the Commercial Skip feature. Used to work but the last few years it 
positions incorrectly; not a bad thing: there are a few entertaining 
commercials, plus have seen announcements for shows of interest.

Did get my remote to run the other basic functions you listed, plus FF 
and REW (the ‘Sticky’ ones as listed in Edit Keys, using the < and > 
keys on a keyboard.

I will take a look at these, though for my use it seems the ability to 
(re)start via the press of a remote button is advantageous, so will see 
what I can do via irexec.
