Why is it that whenever I say "skip 30 minutes" or "skip one hour", etc... into the voice remote, it always interprets it as "skip 5 minutes", regardless of whatever time I say?
I've tried speaking as clearly as possible, directly into the (clean) microphone - yet very rarely does it seem to understand the time I say, and always seems to respond by skipping 5 minutes at a time!
So annoying when I'm trying to find a place in a movie but have to move in 5 minute increments every time.

Strange @Rob74Lynch
Regularly use skip here without issues. Even skip 4 minutes 15 seconds is correctly picked up for skipping ITV adverts

Although it does get it wrong occasionally for me it generally works.
Can I point out that "Go To nn minutes" is also useful - You can use hours, minutes & seconds or mix e.g. Go to 1hour 15 minutes

Ours and my sister's have both started interpretting 'skip' as 'Get'. Coincidence? Or or Sky trying to stop us skipping adverts?
