30 Second Skip on RokuTV

I have both a Fire TV and a Roku TV with the Stream App installed. The left and right direction buttons perform a 15 sec skip back and 30 sec skip forward, which is perfect. On Roku TV these buttons perform a rewind and a fast forward, which is undesirable since those buttons are already on the remote. 

Can the Roku functionality to updated to perform skips like the Fire TV does? This is probably more of a feature request but I'm hoping this helps in some way.

YES IT CAN!

But you need the ROKU Pro Remote that has the 2 customizable buttons.

1. Press the Microphone button on the remote

 - say "Fast forward 30 seconds"

2. Press and hold one of the customizable buttons (1 or 2)

3. When the menu on the TV pops up, select "Last Voice Command"

Done!

I have button 1 set for 30 seconds and did the same for button 2 to make it 2 minutes

Remember, there is also the preset Rewind button to the left of the microphone that goes back 10 seconds.

Thanks! I found a used Voice Pro Remote on ebay and set the buttons up as you suggested. It's a lot better than fast-forwarding.
