I need some advice from Sling TV subscribers using a Roku device. I rarely watch TV, and I haven't been using their cloud DVR. DW is the opposite. She watches quite a bit of TV, and nearly all of her shows are recorded on the DVR.
Occasionally, she is watching a recording and will say something like "you should watch this." She will then skip forward in the recording using the fast-forward button. Nearly every time she does this, when she stops the fast-forwarding, she could be anywhere. Near the end of the commercials she is trying to skip. Part way into the next segment. Part way into the *previous* segment. It is maddening to watch her skip around recordings like this.
Isn't there a 30-second skip forward and maybe a 15-second skip backward feature with the Sling DVR using the Roku remote? This may have nothing to do with the Sling DVR and everything to do with how to use the Roku remote.
There is little information on this I could find in my searches, other than a single YouTube video (that has been released on at least three different YT channels) showing that you can hit the pause button, and from there you tap the forward button once to skip forward 30 seconds. The video shows a thumbnail skip. Is that still how it works?
