UPC RECORDINGS

Is there a way of picking a starting point on a recorded programme, say 10 min into it? I know you can fast-forward to that point, but with Sky you could insert the number of minutes into the programme from which you wanted it to start.

I don't have UPC for TV any more but I'm pretty sure on my old silver Thomson box that you could skip forward (and back) by a fixed amount that was configurable in the settings, i.e. in one go rather than fast-forwarding. This worked both on recordings and while pausing/rewinding live TV.

There was also a well hidden feature whereby you could add bookmarks to recordings and jump to those, but can't for the life of me remember how to do it. All I know was that it involved the 4 coloured buttons on the remote.
