Thanks to all contributing to this thread. At least I now know where to find "seekbar activation". Unfortunately, still no nearer understanding why some boxes seem able to use L/R for FF and RW when others can't, even with the same software. I don't even think the seekbar is working correctly anyway (if I wanted to use it, that is, which I don't). From my experiments it seems that the "Activation" bit is just that - it only brings the bar up on screen and whether using LR or <<>> to do so, I still have to use LR to move the cursor. Very odd...and frustrating because I'd really like to be able to use the LR buttons like on the Technomate.
