This is exactly how the frontend interface works right now in recorded
programs, except that the seeks use minutes. 240-> jumps four hours
forward, and 47i jumps to 47 minutes after the start of the
program. See
<URL:http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.1>. This has
been the behavior since I started using MythTV in 0.18.1.
