I beleive it is a Scientific Atlanta PVR model. I am told it's the same for
all cable boxes in Canada as Bev sat patented the remote function and the
cable companies can't implement it.

I assume you meant "skip" intervals?

Do you have a PVR cable box that can do this? It would be nice to have.

What make cable box?  Many of them are configurable for forward and
backward ship intervals.
