Fast Fwd 15 Seconds Does not Work
I just got the stream device and it clearly says in the instructions that pressing the fast forward button twice fast forwards 15 seconds, but it does not. I just makes the recorded program fast forward even faster. This is really important to us to easily move through commercials without having to catch the FF and stop it before it gets too far into the show after the commercials.
Frankly, I am not impressed. Can someone explain to me what is happening? If that function does not work, they need to change the documentation that came with the device.

I tested it using the right and left navigation buttons and it worked! Thanks everyone! Now, DirecTV, please either correct your instructions or put a correction sheet in with the box so people have the correct procedure.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Pressing the right arrow should jump ahead 30-sec.

Hello @zjsurfer , thanks for reaching out.
We want you to enjoy the best of DIRECTV STREAM. To better help, can you please confirm if is there any error when trying to Fast Forward? Also, are you having this issue with recording commercials only?
We'll be waiting for you.

@DIRECTVhelp , no error message. Problem is that following the directions that came with the streaming box (pressing the ff button twice) causes it to fast forward faster rather than fast forwarding 15 seconds. Also, I am not trying to record commercials. I am trying to skip them on DVR recordings.

Did you try pressing the RIGHT ARROW button instead?
Not sure what directions you're seeing, but they're wrong.

I'm sorry if I seem to be ignoring you. I am not. I don't have anything on the DVR to try it right now and it has been too busy a day for me to try to test it. I plan to tonight.
My response to the directv help response was when I first got up this morning and was meant to tell them their documentation is wrong. It really bothers me when a major company gives the consumer instructions that are totally inaccurate.
Here is the exact wording on the Directv Stream Device Setup Guide.
On the page about the remote, it says "Press the (shows the button with two small right arrows) twice to skip ahead 15 seconds." It is in the blue sidebar next to the picture of the remote.
I assure you that I will test this later when I am home and have something recorded to test it on. I really do appreciate your feedback and sorry if I seem rude. It is not intentional.
I will let you know what happens.

@DIRECTVhelp I am not having app problems. If you read my original query, you will see that my problem is that the remote does not work according to the instructions, specifically, how to fast forward 30 seconds. I will be trying the suggestions by the other users.
