For example, Hulu on Roku defaults to a rate of x4 (four seconds) on the first tap and increases to x32 (32 seconds) with further presses of the fast-forward button.<br/> Use the right button on your TV remote’s directional pad to fast forward in fixed increments. The default speed is typically 10 to 15 seconds ahead.<br/> Alternatively, press and hold the right button on the directional pad to skip ahead rapidly in 10- to 15-second bursts.<br/> <h3> Fast Forward on Hulu Mobile and Desktop </h3> Fast-forwarding from the Hulu mobile or web apps offers less control over time increments but can be easier and quicker to use.
