Jim,
There is a feature that I really miss from my retired x86 frontend: The ability to skip ahead any X number of minutes. On the x86 FE, you can type "17" + CR and you'll jump ahead 17 mins in the recording.
I suspect this is difficult if the roku doesn't support number buttons.
With mythroku, I've been using the FF feature which is great however it takes longer (usually) and I'm not able to control it as well.
Also, I've encountered a problem of REW suddenly not working when viewing long recordings. I recorded the Olympics Opening Ceremony (a long show), and when I watched it the 2nd time, I did a lot of FF and REW to skip to my favorite parts. Well, after doing several of these ff/rew's, the REW just stopped working. If i pushed REW the osd would say "REW 3x" but the playback would not skip backwards; it just kept on playing forwards as if the button was not pushed. If i pressed REW again it would say "REW 5x" but again skipping backwards. If i exit & restart the playback, ff/rew works again (unless I use it "too much").
Have you seen anything like this?
Many thanks sir!
Donn
