DVR click forward will jump to the beginning of the recording

I've having the same problem as here: https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/x1/dvr-jumps-back-to-beginning-of-recording/65ada133ed17eb490b57132a and https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/x1/dvr-click-forward-will-jump-to-the-beginning-of-the-recording-corrected/6551773920a91817c99111c9. Note that there are literally over 1,000 people who are following that thread. They want the problem fixed. It is terrible. It makes the product you sell unusable. I never had this problem with TiVo and now you don't support TiVo. It is like you are begging us to try a different service.

user_63b4s9 Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums. I can definitely understand how frustrating having a show go all the way back to the beginning. Just to confirm, you are clicking the fast forward button, are you only clicking on it once? Can you provide any troubleshooting steps that you have tried?

Yes, the fast forward button and only the fast forward button. The DVR will pause for a second then instead of going forward it will jump to the very beginning. I've tried restarting the DVR. I should note the DVR is very new. It was doing this from almost the very beginning. I could try a new DVR but based on other reports I don't the problem is the hardware.

Oh, and another thing I tried was to turn off the feature (I forget what it is called) that allows you to quickly skip through commercials.

user_63b4s9 The function to skip commercials is called 'Smart Resume' here is a link you can use if you need to know how to toggle that on/off (https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/dvr-smart-resume). 

Have you tried using a different remote? Since your DVR is new it may be an issue with the remote specifically.

I tried with and without "Smart Resume". I thought it might be the remote, but since thousands of other people have the same problem, I doubt it. Why do I think thousands of other people have the same problem? Look at the links I listed above. The second one has 1.6 thousands viewers. It stands to reason that everyone one of them want a solution to this problem.

@user_63b4s9 Does pressing rewind do the same thing? We have a known issue for rewind at the moment.

I too have this problem. FF and goes to the beginning of recording. Today for the first time it went to the end of the Eagles recording ruining the entire point of recording. The delay incurred when fast forwarding is excruciating. Most of the time the fast-forward problem is with football games. Thousands of people with the same problem thousands of people paying a king ransom and not receiving good service.

Did it again tonight with the lions Ninners game. Right to the beginning when fast forward hit. Also will not do slow motion. It just freezes and pixelated. So sad that I can’t get what I pay for. Shame on you Comcast. Oops I forgot you have no shame.

We have been having this issue for weeks now with no resolution!   We are extremely frustrated with no resolution that we are considering switching providers!
