no super fast forward

Comcast has a Super fast forward,  old directv had it also.    the '>>' button goes up to '4'  still miserably slow when finding a certain tennis match in an 11 hour recording.  

Haven't found the secret button code yet?

Hello @ptt1965, we know how helpful and comfortable is having control of your video recordings.

Fast forward/rewind is only available with our DIRECTV STREAM device. With the current layouts, you can increase the speed up to 4 times the normal viewing speed by pressing the fast forward or rewind key multiple times quickly.

We'll take in consideration your feedback to improve the viewing experience for all our DIRECTV STREAM customers.

Of course that isn't true (as is usually the case with answers from @DIRECTVhelp) - fast forward and rewind are available on all devices.  How fast you can do that varies by device - some support "scrubbing", which means you can go as fast as you can move the cursor.  However, on devices where you are limited to the FF/Rew buttons, you indeed are currently limited in the max speed.  I've never found their limit a problem, but I must admit I've never recorded anything 11 hours long...
