Watch while recording

Why is it not possible to PAUSE, go forward or back 15 seconds when watching a program that is being recorded?  When we had access to our sports channel (Bally's) on YouTubeTV, we had the ability to allow a hockey game to begin recording and then skip the commercials.  This service takes you back to the BEGINNING of the recording or LIVE action when you try to use any of the functions during a recording session.  This is a major downfall to your service in my opinion.

Go into your recordings and watch it that way as it's recording and u can ff, pause, rewind., If  you watch it on the channel that is recording u can't do any of that--just bring it up from your recordings and u can.

Maybe we were doing this incorrectly.  I just tried this and it did work.  Thank you.  We'll test this on the hockey game Thursday night.  My apologies again for my other nasty post.  This has been helpful.
