The Mediacom remote doesn't have one, but is programmed to be assigned one. This will enable any button that's assigned to FF 30 seconds, bypassing most commercials on your recorded programs. This is covered in the user manual under remapping of keys. What is not included is the code for the 30 sec jump forward, 00173
So:
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 "Cable" button blinks twice.
3. Enter code 994. The "Cable" button will blink twice.
4. Press (do not hold) the "Setup" button.
5. Enter code 00173.
6. Press whatever button you want to map the jump function to.
I use the F1 button above LIVE.
enjoy losing those commercials.
This will work not only for MC, but comcast also. pretty much any DVR that uses an atlas remote.
