30 second weird happening on playback of different shows on different channels

I have recorded many episodes of shows like Grimm, Barney Miller, and many others. I start watching one of the recordings and everything is fine when it comes to the first set of commercials I hit the 30 second skip ahead button, but instead of skipping ahead it goes back to the very beginning of the show. It doesn't do it in every episode of the same show or shows that had been recorded on the same channels. The only way to skip past the commercials is to hold the fast forward button down until the show starts again. I have a Hopper 3. It doesn't do it all the time just a different show that I had recorded months ago.

I understand the pain. I run into this problem with 6:30 national news recordings. (ABC) It starts with the first break. I hit 30 second skip several times. Usually 3 times. It advances too much. It goes straight to the next break! Then, I have to go back, which is a slower process. I have a better chance if I press FF (holding down the button as you do) and watch the screen and stop when the ads are over.
Perhaps, the stations use different break limits and that is causing hopper to mess up. The recordings from History channel have longer commercial breaks and Hopper does a better job of skipping them.

And going back to the beginning of the recording rather than skipping? I experienced that , too. Not often though. It could be a software bug.

I believe this issue started with H364 if not earlier but it has nothing to do with commercials as it appears with the same recording, it will always skip to the beginning from the same spot until one fast forwards over it.
