I currently have similar issues watching recorded material that was recorded from Dish not OTA. The skip button works ok if you only press it once or twice (or if you press it slowly multiple times, allowing a short pause between presses), but if you press it too many times, or too quickly it may skip to the end of the show or completely freak out and go to black screen. It happens more with paused live recordings, they will inevitably jump to live TV and it is very difficult to get back to where I was in the show when it was paused. I never had any of these issues with skip forward or skip backwards on my old 722.
