I also have the SA8300HD, and I press the FF (Fast Forward)
button usually 3 times (4 times for very long commercials),
then the 8 sec Replay button once or twice. If you want,
you can use the activity sequence function to map a sequence
of 3 FF to a key. My Replay function is actually a sequence
of 2 commands: Play + Replay. The Play command, preceding
the Replay, is used to reset the FF counter to overcome
a bug in my current SA8300HD software. Note: I used to
have a VCR with both a 30 sec skip and a FF function and
found the FF function a lot more convenient than the 30
sec skip specially with long commercials.
Would you mind explaining what you mean by this? I also have the SA8300HD. When I hit the FF button the picture continues to advance until I hit FF (or Play) again. So I guess I'm confused when you say that you "press the FF (Fast Forward) button usually 3 times (4 times for very long commercials)". If there is no timing associated with the press of a button, how can you program a macro/sequence so that the command knows when to stop performing that function?
