I have a Sharp ROKU Remote for Living Room TV and another for Bedroom TV. I can Fast Forward with Remote in Bedroom to Skip Brief Sections. But when I press the Same Fast Forward Button on Living Room Remote, it goes TOO Fast and I can not just skip a brief portion. Can I Adjust the Remote so I can Fast Forward through BRIEF Sections without going Several Minutes ahead?
Same problem with my Roku Ultra 2019. FF and RR not usable with Amazon Prime. Moves minutes in advance with with one tap. Useless. I happens with Prime. Terrible user experience.
For slower rewind and FF use the big wheel at the top of the remote.
I find it helps to stop the video first then hit the button.
Turn on CC for hard of hearing. Closed captions.
This is definitely a ROKU remote issue. Ya'll see, the remote's first click fast forward/rewind speeds are auto set at a minimum of 4X speed. However, on different platforms the minimum 4X speed is different. On SLING, one click ff/rw = 15 seconds. On HULU, one click ff/rw = 4 seconds. So why is the auto first click fast forward and rewind speeds set at 4X, and not 2X ??? This is the crux of the issue, how to get the auto first click ff/rw speed set to 2X. I watch SLING most of the time, so yes, when replaying stuff from the DVR, this continues to be very frustrating having the ffw speed go through 30 seconds of the program I'm trying to watch, after going through the commercials.

Thanks for the post.
Please be that the Fast Forward and Rewind buttons for each channel are not standardized and that each channel has their own settings for what those buttons will do. Have you tried pressing the back or forward directional buttons to see if that helps?
For more information about that channel's features and functionality, you'll want to contact the channel provider support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves.
Thanks,

I am having the same issue with Fast Forward and Rewind/Reverse being WAY TOO FAST, even at the lowest speed, in the Spectrum app. There is no way to control the speed. It just zips forward or backward. Is there no way to slow them down?
