Hello, is there any way to adjust or slow down the FF/RW playback speed on my Hopper 3? Pressing and/or holding the FF playback arrows on my 54.0 remote gives >30 sec. >>15X, >>>60X or >>>>300X. Is there any way to just get around 5X or 7X. The reason is that when using even the 15X FF, I never seem to be able to stop right at the end of commercials and always jump past back into the program. Then, it's a cat and mouse game to get back to the commercial end.

I also have TiVo's that I use for OTA and TiVo's have a much more logical system for FF. They apparently have a feature that when you stop a fast forward, it automatically backs up a few seconds. The 3X has no back space, the 20X has a second or two back space and the 60X has several seconds backspace. They apparently based the automatic backspace based on how fast the human mind reacts to pressing the buttons. All I know is that it works perfect everytime!

Any way, I thought I would just ask. Thank you in adance for any replies.

Unfortunately no. We once had a slower option, many years ago, and we have been screaming for them to bring it back for all those years to no avail.

A guy went up to Elon about this, saying more or less "Please Sir, I want some more."

The bowels of the earth opened, harpies flew low, and Blue Origin got something off the ground. And that guy now cleans toilets at Faggin Company. And drives a Fiat 300.
