That has been my point all along! We are forced to re-watch the entire show if something happens to make us miss the end of a show (like my Comcast service going out!). It's not like we have the extra time to sit through an entire episode AGAIN to get to the part we missed. It's not about the commercials - we've seen them already the first time we watched it. Fast forward is used for much more than skipping over commercials. Seriously if its all about the commercials for the networks, then block fast forward during the commercials and give us back fast forward for the rest of the show!!

Yeah. My husband says at $225/mo and no fast forward among other problems they are "begging" us to leave. It's not like we don't already pay for the feature. And saying its the networks is a "cop out". Come on. We are tired of everyone trying to figure out how to squeeze another penny out of the consumer. I'm disgusted with having problems with service and the DVR and having to sit through the show all over again. On demand isn't really "on demand" anymore. It's watch what we tell you. Shame on you Comcast. And shame on the Networks too.

I completely agree with you that we pay a "premium" price and should have complete access to what we pay for without restrictions I don't even mind the commercials so much. It's when the "premium" service fails us during a show and I am "forced" to watch the same portion of the show all over again to get to the part the "premium" service failed all because fast forward is disabled. FYI the page up button doesn't work either.

That may be so that it is up to the Networks. It seems that my problem may be with Comcast in that the service interruption that happens makes me sit through the on-demand shows now without the option of fast forwarding to the point where I lost the viewing of the show. Also, watching an episode of Franklin & Bash recorded on our DVR, the last portion of the show (probably 10 minutes) was not recorded (who knows why - not the first time this has happened). I can't wait to sit through the first 50 minutes to get to the point that we lost on our Comcast DVR. Ugh.

Blocking fast forward for On Demand shows, really? I get it that you want us to watch commercials, but what about those of us who pull up an On Demand show to watch content that was missed on regular television for an outage or the usual HD volume missing issues, or service interruptions. Now I cannot fast forward to the point in the show where I lost it on regular television. Oh not to mention when you rewind on the On Demand show to see something you missed, you cannot fast forward back to where you were either! Crazy solution Comcast came up with - just block a feature consumers have been using for years.
