24 hour skip function?

Is there a 24 hour skip or jump function in the guide?

My Dish DVR has this ability & it’s real handy to check the same program every day of the week. For example there may be a daily program but I only watch it when the topic interests me. I can check it Monday at 3pm & then just jump to Tues, then Wed, etc in order to view the details. This saves a lot of time by not having to scroll hourly to get to the same listing on he following day.

Can this be does with WMC?

Thanks for the information.

I’m using a wireless keyboard & clicking on the menu option buttons displayed on the HDTV. Here’s what’s happening for me.

If I start out & select the Guide none of the Skip or FF or FR buttons work. They are grayed out, as are the Stop & Play buttons.

If I’m watching a recording or live TV & then switch to the Guide screen the Skip, FF & RW buttons work within the Guide. I can also pause the recording or live TV & switch to the Guide screen & the buttons work. I also noticed the FF & RW buttons do a 3 hour skip.

Sometime when watching live TV & Stopping & then switching to the Guide only the Skip back & RW buttons work. I’m still trying to figure out what sequence of button pushes causes this scenario.

But I do need to have some program playing or paused in the background in order for the 12 hour skip to work. Is this normal behavior or do I need to change some setting?

I do plan on getting a remote. I just built this HTPC and am using a wireless keyboard I already had in order to make sure everything works.

But I am curious, when you use the remote for the 12 hour skip does your HDTV display those skip & FF buttons as grayed out? I'm concerned that I might not have something set correctly. IOW if they are grayed out for me then perhaps a remote will not control them either.

Thanks, that works. And I tried Ctrl - B and that skips back 12 hours.

I searched all over for documentation on using the guide and everything just comes up with the basics. Is there a comprehensive tutorial on the guide or WMC?

Is there a keyboard function that duplicates the 3 hour FF & RW functions of clicking on the screen buttons?
