I've had DirecTV for quite a long time (25 years) but it was satellite. Due to a recent move, I decided to switch to DirecTV Stream. I believe that streaming is the way forward.

Guide Navigation Suggestion

On Roku OS, I noticed that a few other apps will allow you to move up & down a PAGE at a time by using the FF & RW buttons. These buttons do nothing (in the guide) in the DTV app. Moving up & down in the guide a PAGE at a time is helpful and would be nice to have in the DTV app. Thanks for so many o

I used to have DirecTV satellite now I have DirecTV streaming it's really frustrating that now when I record a show it cuts off the end of every show because there is no manual padding or manual start and end times.
