I probably have a somewhat different issue to deal with than most. My
mother just had a stroke and is laid up in bed recovering. I went to
her place this last week and set up a Myth backend on their PC using a
PVR-150 and then built an XBox based frontend. She's using it but is
limited to the XBox remote control. I showed her how to use the
forward arrow to skip forward but it seems she always overruns the
start of the next section of her shows and is having a hard time
backing up to where she wants to be.

The default xbox remote definition doesn't have keys mapped to the commercial skip buttons - I mapped the "Skip+" and "Skip-" buttons to be "Z" and "Q" respectively. While I don't trust the commercial skip enough to set it to autoskip, pressing Skip+ (next track) when the commercials come up jumps to the end of the break 99% of the time (the other 1% it's 15-30 seconds from the end of the break)

Commercial skipping is good on the shows that I record, but it occasionally will flag a false break - using the Z button makes it so that I have to identify breaks, but I don't have to identify how long they are.
