Multiple "advance" (not an issue, but a request) #48

I love the program you did... it works great and your instructions were easy.

I have one request to see if it can be done. I looked at the code but have not gotten anywhere.

What about being able to say "Tell Directv advance "x" times" whereas "x" is a number between 2 and 9? I would set it to assume 1 if "times" is not present.

It would be nice to say advance 6 times to move ahead 3 minutes .

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks,

TheeMike

theemike, I think this would be hard for me to do. i think the skill would interpret any number it hears and send it off to lambda as a channel. It's a good idea! I just am not sure how this would have to be fiddled with to work without breaking the current functionality.
