DirecTV Streaming - still missing many good features from DirecTV Satellite

Maybe I'm missing something, but has there been any additional features or improvements in the Streaming service lately?  Been with DirecTV Streaming since last June using Gemini dongles, but sure miss these features from the satellite system. 

1. You cannot specify additional minutes before or after to start recording a show!  It was a breeze with satellite.

2. When watching a recorded show that was still being broadcast, a colored recording 'ribbon' would indicate how close you were to catching up to live TV.  Why can't we have this with streaming?

3. When pausing a DVR recording, it immediately starts showing animated commercials that are very annoying 

4. No music channels

5. The 'mix' channels during major tennis & golf tournaments seem to be missing (901-906)

6. The 'info' on a recorded show does not identify the channel number, only a tiny cryptic little channel icon!  Is there any other way to show the actual channel number that was recorded?

7. The 'info' on a recorded show does not indicate the 'time of day' when the show was recorded?  Am I missing something?

Is there anything in the works that might address some of these issues?
