unable to fast forward Ads on recorded program on Direct TV

Anyone else find they can't fast forward through their recorded programs on Direct TV? 

This is a game changer for me if all recordings are like this.  When I first started with pay TV the selling point was ad free.  Now we all pay for TV and that's changed.  I have accepted that and moved to recording my favorite programs, but last night I watched a recorded Law and Order Organized Crime and it said I could not fast forward through ads.  I find this very disturbing.  I pay for internet access and get ads, email ads, cellphone marketing calls, etc. It's insane.  Now I guess I will part ways with Direct TV and stick with streaming Netflix.

AT&T sold off 30% of DTV.  DTV had nothing to do with AT&T raising their phone line charges.

AT&T simply has reduced discount for autopay by credit cards because of increased costs. Other providers have removed the discount completely.

That has nothing to do with DirecTV (never mind not related to this thread to begin with), or any politics as you've implied, so thread from about a year ago will be CLOSED.
