Channels & viewing

Fast forward/reverse used to work perfectly, up until a couple weeks ago.  There were 4 or 5 speeds and they were consistent.  It was easy to FF 90 seconds and it would start playing exactly where you hit play.

Now there are 3 speeds, but they start slow and speed up as it moves.  Then when you hit play (to stop FF'ing) it might start playing where you meant, or any time up to 30 seconds before you mean, or sometimes it goes to the end of the buffer like maybe 20 minutes ahead of where you were.

What is up with this?  The old FF worked fine, this new thing is like  regressing to some horrible Tivo system.

In what channel are you experiencing this?

[sonofmagni]

Definitely on Fubo.  Not sure about others since Fubo is where I watch sports and use FF and Rewind the most there.

@sonofmagni-

I don't have a Fubo subscription to check.  But I do know that I see different RW and FF behavior among the channels I do have.

Roku will pass along your key presses to the channel app being viewed, but what the app does in response is up to the developers of the app, in this case Fubo.

Okay, good to know.  I'll try different channels and also look for a forum for fubo.  Thanks.

Totally agree
where Fubo starts when you fast forward is completely random. Unusable
