Channel skip

How do I use channel skip on iOS? Please don’t tell me only Apple TV does this.

You can double tap the skip buttons in the player controls in the top bar.

Really? Cool I will try that.

Why its this called “channel skip”?

Anyway, I speculated that this is the commercial skip like the double click on the right side on the ATV remote, so I tried to double tap on the FF30 skip icon on my iPad when the playback of the recording entered the commercial segment, and it jumped forward to the end of the commercial segment. Bravo!

For some strange reason it would not do it when I was watching the recording last night and I am pretty sure I tried the same thing…
