[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1173085, member: 141969"] In my current setup, I use an analogue hi-fi amplifier dating from 1997, so it is not controllable via CEC. I am quite happy with it at the moment :), so I don't anticipate replacing it unless it malfunctions. I held out against the blandishments of a Harmony remote for several years. but I finally capitulated a few months ago and purchased a Harmony 650 to add to my collection. (The 650 is the "mid-price" one.) The activities are [i]very[/i] nice, but I am not so keen on some of the physical properties of the remote, and I actually prefer my One-for-All URC-7140. I have not yet decided which I shall use long term. I recollect that you migrated from WMC, so you might not be aware that MP assigns the skip functions to the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT buttons: (1) UP and DOWN perform a fixed skip forward and backward. You can specify the size of the skip in "MP Config". I have mine set to 60 seconds. (2) LEFT and RIGHT perform a variable skip. You pre-define the skip steps in "MP Config" (mine are: 20 secs, 1 min, 4 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour), and press the button the appropriate number of times, and then wait for the timeout to expire (which is also settable in "MP Config"; mine is 1.5 seconds). But there is nothing wrong with using the JUMP_FORWARD and JUMP_BACKWARD buttons to perform the skips if you prefer that. (y) You can also skip to a specific location in the video by entering 4 digits, which are interpreted as "hh:mm" (e.g "0123" means "go to 1 hour 23 mins from the start"). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
