Fast forward and rewind is maddening

Let’s say I’m watching a football game live and I want to rewind to see the last play again.  I hit rewind and when I get to the point that I would like to see again I hit play.  Instead of the video resuming at the point where I hit the play button it randomly jumps to anywhere from a minute before, 16 seconds before, 25 seconds ahead, sometimes back to live.  Are there any settings that would allow me to control the point at which the video resumes after rewinding or fast forwarding?  There is nothing more frustrating than simply wanting to rewind a few seconds back and having the video start at any random spot.  I rewind 8 seconds to see a certain play in the game, hit play and it resumes at the point where I started the rewind.  I do it again and it jumps back 20 seconds before the play.  I fast forward and hit play where I’d like it to resume and it jumps to the end of the play.  I can do this 10, 20 times and it simply will not resume at the point where I hit the play button.  I assume this is something meant to predict where I would like the video to resume in an attempt to help me but for gods sake I can handle this on my own.  I am fully capable of watching the tv as it rewinds and resume play at the point that I want to see.  Why, why, why can’t I simply resume the video at the point when I hit play?  This is absolutely maddening.  And don’t get me started on the fact that there’s no ability to watch in slow motion.  I was able to use slow motion on a directv DVR 20 years ago.
