Skip Ads with a Cable Remote

Many Motorola made DVR's are capable of doing this but it's only for a 30 second jump. You have to remap the remote to do this.

Directions:
Press the Cable button
Hold the Setup button until the Cable button flashes
Enter 994 on the keypad making the Cable button to flash twice
Push the Setup button once
Enter 00173
Push the button now that you want to use a 30 second skip
I would choose the A button
and your done

If you want to restore the remote to factory settings, follow the steps above again, but this time after entering 994, pus the remapped key twice. The Cable button will blink twice if your input was accepted.

Good luck

McAfee Headache

Antivirus software's now make it very difficult for you to say good bye even when you uninstall them.
I recently was working on a computer that at one time had installed McAfee antivirus and firewall, but now no longer has it. To my surprise when the computer will told me that the McAfee firewall or Shield stopped a suspicious file. It was nice that I was informed by McAfee, but when the software was uninstalled. That should have been the end. McAfee should know better to understand when someone removes it's software. It's usually permanent. So take control of your computer and say goodbye to McAfee.
