I agree with the rewind live tv. I miss having 6 "tuners" like tivo bolts have. Dtv recently changed the up/down arrow to feature "recent channels" at the bottom of the screen on the Dtv stream box remote. Be nice if you could rewind a few of those when going to them. Tivo's popup recent channels on the side of the screen that you can rewind 45 minutes.

How does this list compare to Pokemon___Boi's list of suggested features?

I don't know. Does another list of feature exist. I looked before posting but didn't see any.

Will never happen in my honest opinion. But if a miracle takes place those enhancements would probably cost all of us about $20 more a month.

I saw these issues and wanted to offer my opinion of feature requests. I think I have receive several updates to the app as the functionality changes every so often (ie. the left and right changing channel. I did run across an additional issue about when a recording ends and it doesn't go back to live after deleting the recording.
