Fast Forward Issue

We just switched from Xfinity to Directv.  When we fast forwarded through commercials in Xfinity, after we pressed stop, xfinity would automatically reverse from that point about 6 seconds or so.  Directv doesn't do this, which means whenever we stop it, we always miss some of the show or game we are watching.  We can press the reverse button but that usually reverses too far and gets us back in the commercial.  Is there a way to avoid this annoying problem?
