I realise this is totally personal preference, but I'd like a 4min skip as I've found most UK ad breaks are around 4Mins.

Taking into account that everyone would like to do their own thing, could we have a text string instead of the pre-defined boxes, i.e:

0:15;0:30;0:45;1:00;4:00 etc.

Yes, I also think that the current way to choose the skip steps is restricted. I would like to see a sorted listview (like the one for the capture cards in the config app), where you can enter your own values. Then there could be a add, delete, and edit button to manage that. That would be more userfriendly.

I also think this is a great idea. Because of people's varying preferences, as many settings that can be given reasonable defaults with the option to define them yourself should be set up as such.

It would work something like the volume setup at the moment, I would imagine.

    tklon's idea sounds like the way to go. And to keep it simple for newcomers the list should be preset with the current defaults.

    I'd like to see a text field to specify the jump for pressing up and down (the big jump). I'd set it to 3:30, the average length of our ad breaks, so they can be jumped in a single bound!

    Yes, 3:30 over here as well. I have no idea how much big jump jumps at the moment, I only know that it is highly irritating when I accidentally press it, and it seems like a lot.

    I adore the sound of this because some times it 3:30 and on other programs its 4:00
    I’ve been thinking about this for a long time but said nothing about it. It wound be a nice feature to have added.

    Thanks in advances :)
