I think this would be very nice thing to be done. Mythtv supports this and it was really nice to 'speedwatch' a program while it had already recorded some minutes and when one caught the realtime transmission, it switched to normal speed. Configurable time-skips with different buttons would be nice thing too :) Jarmo
