Pressing the rewind button jumps waaaaaaaayy back

[winter60]

Well, add me to the list, but for me it is the FF button that takes me back to the beginning.

Today, I recorded a college football game off the BTN Alt channel. When I went to play it later, I tried to FF in the game and each time it just took me back to the beginning. Not happy about that. I ended up just deleting the game as it was not even practical to watch it. I would have thought that since the Hopper 3 has been out for years, they would have fixed any bugs in it by now. I am new to the Hopper 3, having mine for less than a month.

What channel # is the BTN Atl? Same thing is happening to the MLB Extra Innings channels # 476

The BTN Alternate Channel I was recording was on 405-02. They were showing the University of Minnesota game vs Nevada.

Did you report this to Dish?

I found that on the MLB EI 476 channels I can do this:
If the game is still being played live on air, you can FFW, leave & resume play, FFW works. But once the game is over and the feed goes off air, the FFW, Resume is gone. You have to start from beginning of recording, no FFW, keeps taking you back to start.
If you stop recording while the game is still on air, you can go back and view later, FFW works. But if you don't time it right, you lose the end of the game.
Dish told me they are aware & working on a fix. Don't know when, Baseball season is almost over!

Interesting, I did not try to watch the game I recorded until it was well over. I hope they can fix this soon. Fortunately, next week my game is on NBC and I get my locals via OTA and use a TiVo to record any OTA channels. My TiVo works flawless! But after that, most of my games I watch will be on the BTN.

I also have a Wally STB that uses an external HDD for recording. I think next time, I will try and record the same channel on both my Hopper 3 and Wally and will then see if the issue of FFW is on both the Hopper 3 and Wally or just on the Hopper 3.

This is a software issue we're aware of and working on correcting.

I just noticed this was from april.. where in September and this still issue? damn near ever time I hit rewind it just jump right back to begin of recording, be it dvr or live tv buffer.

Not that the back 10 seconds button actual work right to begin with. it almost never actual goes back "10"seconds

Was not an issue for me until I received update H380 in late August.

Not the same thing, but I noticed if you use the Google function and tell it to ff or rw it just keeps ffing or rwing to the end. It used to do 10 seconds and then stop. I don’t use it but I taught my mother to use it because her vision is very poor and buttons are difficult for her. It’s useless now though.

We have an H3 with a wireless J3 connected via a Wireless Joey Access Point 2.

While watching the NASCAR race this afternoon we saw occasional pixellation then when we switched to the Cowboys thrashing, there was some of the same so I rebooted the H3, the WAP and the J3 which seemed to solve that problem.

Then we were trying to watch Tracker recorded on PTAT tonight.

Of course tuning to Tracker on PTAT it joined 60 Minutes with about 2 or 3 minutes left so the Mrs. used skip forward and it immediately jumped to Live TV - UGH!

We start over and it does it again, so we finally just watched the end of 60 Minutes and the ensuing commercials to watch Tracker.

About 1/2 way through the show I made the mistake of skipping the commercials, guess what, it jumped to live TV again.

Started the process over again except this time I used 15X fast forward and got pretty close to where we were and had to watch the commercials.

Is this a new bug in fast forward or PTAT or a new feature?

I just tried to look at Tracker again, this time from the H3 and when I went to PTAT and selected Tracker, the H3 immediately rebooted.

Waiting for it to come back on...

System Check 1620 Routine test in progress...

H3 is rebooting...

Trying to look at Tracker again.

End of 60 minutes playing. Skip forward. Seems to be operating normally from the Hopper 3.

Back to the wireless Joey 3.

Joey 3 is now behaving normally, guess the Hopper just needed another reboot.

Is anybody else's wireless Joey 3 sluggish to respond. It seems to have about a 2 second delay in responses to the remote?

My PTAT is acting the same way on my H+ and H3. Been doing it for about a week now.

My 722 sometimes makes an unexpectedly big skip, but usually only when I'm pushing it hard and going fwd & back repeatedly, but never any kind of leap like back to the start.

I too experienced the same issue attempting to watch Tracker. It kept jumping back to 60 Minutes. Eventually Big Brother came on. Never did watch Tracker even though the timer is set to record 1 hour late.

Add me to the list that experienced this same issue, had to manually fast forward and try to get close to end of commercials.

I watched Tracker this morning and it played flawlessly. I did use ff minimally.

My PTATs work ok too the next day.

It may be an issue with skipping forward while PTAT is still recording.

I retried playing Tracker late last night and it worked with no problem.

I think you are correct.

Yes the problem occurs when trying to do trick plays on a program that PTAT is recording. This has been occurring since H382 occurred.

I experience the same issue on non-PTAT channels, the 626-xx channels where if I press replay, it goes back to one hour earlier.
