Fast forwarding

Stephen+Mourton — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 14:34:23 GMT

I'm still getting used to Stream, and tried to watch a Countdown from a few days ago and noticed three things.
Firstly if I want to forward wind the adverts (which I pay for) there is a line at the bottom of the screen telling you when the adverts end but if I forward wind to the end it joins the show about 10 or 15 seconds into the show.

Secondly it's impossible to gauge how far you have gone and requires sometimes numerous attempts to get where you want.

Thirdly every time I attempt to forward wind a still advert appears on the screen and I have to press the back button to get rid of it.

Does everyone have this problem?

Thanks

Try fast forwarding and stop slightly before the progress bar reaches the end.

Yeah this is what I do as well. It's a bug with the version of the C4 app that runs on Entertainment OS.

@Steve93 I already pay a lot for Stream and all the add on's including being able to fast forward the adverts, therefore I am not inclined to pay another £39.99 a year to include one other channel, but thank you pointing it out.

Has anyone got any comments on the other points I raised please?
