Fast forwarding commercials

With the new version of direct tv stream, when you watch a show you have recorded, you can’t fast forward 15 seconds like you could before. Now you have to guess how long the commercials will last. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Not on the Dtv Streambox. U can ff/rewind at 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x the speed and see thumbnails as you do it.

I’m using a smart tv with Amazon fire tv capabilities.

I am just wondering why the fast forwarding feature doesn’t have a smart resume where if you go passed the resume of the show after a commercial it just goes to where the show restarted. Instead I’m just fast forwarding, rewinding, fast forwarding… it’s super annoying.
