[CATV] Motorola DCX3400 - DVR Fast Forward issue

I have an older DVR box from Cox and over the past year or so I've noticed an odd thing when I fast forward through commercials on my DVR recordings: some commercials slow down to a normal speed, despite the fast forward speed selected. It'll skip through a commercial or two just fine, slow down for one maybe two, and then speed up again.

Is this a problem with the box or is this being done deliberately by Cox?

Happen to notice if the ones it slows down are widescreen or HD?

Also, if you rewind and FF through the same commercials, does it slow down at the same place?

The shows are always in HD, but I don't recall what the specific commercials are.

Next time it happens I'll rewind and try again to see what it does.
