Comcast’s TV Remote Can Be Programmed to Have a 30-Second Fast Forward Button

Last week I complained that Comcast’s remote, unlike Dish Network’s & DirecTV’s, does not have a button for skipping forward 30 seconds on recorded programs. A reader sent me instructions for reprogramming the 5-minute FF button to 30 seconds. Briefly, to enable a 30-second skip, do the following: “While watching a channel, press the Exit button thrice. Press 0030 on the keypad.”  Click here for more detailed instructions.
