When the default configuration is the same as it has been then it won't confuse any user. This configuration can be put to the last configuration so that it is basically "hidden". And then there are Man-pages so no, I don't agree that this would confuse users one bit. This is not something that needs to be changes constantly.. If this is done via remote control commands then it is not even shown to the user. If user cannot configure remote control then (s)he most likely is not using VDR anyway. Accelarated repeating is very difficult for user to understand without time bar. Even with that it is very unconvenient because after a short while the step will be too long thus skips way too far. Rewinding takes longer because it begins with small steps. E.g. when I use jumping I usually press yellow several times fast and if necessary then go once or twice back and fast forward the rest. Acceleated jumping would cause the commercials to be skipped more slowly (in my case). Br, Pasi
