A system and method for using a remote control device to simulate a skip search operation on a consumer appliance playing a recorded media. In respon se to a sensed activation of a skip search button (402), the remote control transmits at least one recorded media shuttle command to the consumer appliance and, after waiting a period of time (404), transmits an additional command (405) to the consumer appliance to cause the recorded media to resum e playback at a standard speed. When the media shuttle command (403) is a fast forward command, the simulated skip search is effective for forwarding past timed portions of the recorded media. When the media shuttle command is a rewind command (406), the simulated skip search is effective for replaying timed portions of the recorded media.
