Enable 30 second skip with Comcast DVR

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Motorola DCT6412 (Comcast DVR) 30-second skip

I have a Tivo and missed the 30 second skip that was available and I found that the same was available with the Comcast Cable remote.

1) Press the button at the top of the remote to put it into Cable Box control mode.

2) Press and hold the button until the button blinks twice.

3) Type in the code 994. The button will blink twice.

4) Press (do not hold) the button

5) Type in the code 00173 (for 30 second Skip).

6) Press whatever button you want to map the skip, I used the help button as I have never used it myself.

Welcome to 30 second skipping.

Say goodbye to the bouncing ball!

As this site has been close to 10 years in the making, it is time to say goodbye to the basic flash animation that I started with on the main page.

So feel free to ask questions or give me suggestions for topics.
