What model DVR do you have?
Arris
Skip/rewind time is configurable from a list of options. Look under DVR settings.
Only 3 options: 10, 30 or 60 seconds.
Imagine how much data DVR would need to keep to remember all of the shows you have ever recorded. How long should they remember what shows you watched? Does any DVR remember everything you have watched and never record again?
Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and Acorn know when I've watched something or not. Even if I watched it years ago on DVD in the case of Netflix. Besides, it just needs to store the minimum amount of data and not the program. This sort of storage is minuscule.
You can set DVR to record new and reruns without recording 5 copies. Just set series to have duplicates set to no.
Does not work. Still records duplicates.
