Re: Is DVR service available with streaming tvs

Jump to solution

I recorded a few shows abc and nbc none of them would let me fast forward.

That is one of the main reasons I went with streaming ,It looks like I will go back to sat tv.

@rvtips 

Sure, you can always do that. Or, you can give us specific examples of what you recorded and we can help determine if you're actually looking at recordings or on-demand.

There are many YouTube TV users that can help with that. But you do what think is best for you.

Which live TV service are you using? YouTube TV allows users to FF Through the commercials when using DVR. Hulu I know still has some ads and they tell you this. Each service offers different features and all the features are available on the individual website. I myself use YouTube TV. I can fast forward through any of my DVR recordings. Be sure you select DVR recording. YouTube TV gives you two options when something is recorded. VOD or DVR. It will actually pop up on the screen

When you launch YouTube TV it defaults to the Home Screen. Usually your top watched shows or networks will on top then whatever below. To the right is live tv just like cable or satellite. To left is your library. Your library contains all the movies, shows and sports you added. If something has been recorded it will say DVR. Others will say on demand. If you search for a movie or show that’s VOD.
