DVR I click forward but it will jump to the beginning of the recording?!

DVR: I click forward but it will jump to the beginning of the recording?! 

There has been a dozen threads about this issue over years and instead of fixing the problem which continues to frustrate customers we receive the same old “have you tried…” time after time.  Then they closed the thread instead of addressing this infuriating DVR BUG.

COMCAST what we want to know is; has any team been assigned to fix this bug?  Yes, it’s a “bug” and no amount of “try this” or “reboot” will resolve this BUG.

Like I said in another thread, this happens all the time when we are forced to watch the Cloud NFL recordings (even though I have a hard drive DVR)

these last 2 years.

So how can you tell a recording is on the cloud rather than the DVR?  What makes something record to the cloud?

I have been having the exact same problem.  Very frustrating when watching football games.  When I try and get back to the same spot, it occasionally goes to the end of the game, NOT good.

Hi there, @user_05vlod Thank you for reaching out. I do apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing with your DVR. Have you tried unplugging your DVR for about 1 minute and plugging it back in?-Richard

Why have customers direct message-- it does nothing to help the masses of customers that have the same problem

lmack thank you for using the Xfinity Community Forums page to reach out, I will say that having customers send over a direct message is for a variety of reasons. When we need to take a closer look into an issue that might require obtaining customer information (to access their account for example), we cannot do so publicly in order to avoid that customer's information being shared. After the conclusion of the interaction when a resolution is reached we will return to the public thread to close it out and share a synopsis of what steps were taken.
