If you are using a One-For-All or Radio Shack remote, you can program a button on the remote to quickly skip through commercials:
1) Press the "Cable" button at the top of the remote to put it into Cable Box control mode.
2) Press and hold the "Setup" button until the LED blinks twice.
3) Type in the code 994. The "Cable" button will blink twice
4) Press (do not hold) the "Setup" button
5) Type in the code 00173 (for 30 second Skip)
6) Press whatever button you want to map the skip
Depending on the model of your remote, instead of code 00173 you may need either 0173 or 173.
This feature is not implemented on the Motorola remote due to pressure from advertisers (those bastards!)
These remotes are cheap and can control every device out there. See http://www.hifi-remote.com
