Sharing this little hack was just too good to pass up:

Apparently there is a “30 second skip” command that is available to the Motorola DCT6412 III PVR. If you have this version of the Comcast brand (and other cable carriers, to be fair) you can use the following instructions to map the 30 second skip feature to a button.

1. Make sure the PVR is on. Press and release the Cable button.
2. Press and hold the Setup button. Release it after the Cable button blinks twice.
3. Using the number pad, type 994 and look for the Cable button to blink twice.
4. Press and release the Setup button.
5. Using the number pad, type 00173.
6. Press the button that you wish to have the Fast Forward feature mapped to. I recommend a button that isn’t used normally. I used the “HD Zoom” button in the lower right corner.

The best part about this feature is that it’s not a fast forward feature. It literally jumps forward 30 seconds immediately.

It’s great!
