DVR jumping to program end

Ever since the guide upgrade we've had problems with using the FF and chapter features. When utilized it auomatically jumps to the end of the program and then drops to the delete? screen and we have to start over. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I'm seeing the same behavior. You can use the skip/ fast forward/chapter feature at the beginning of the show, but after a certain point all it does is jump straight to the end. Please fix ASAP.

It does this for me too. I made an account and everything this is how annoying it is. Lets make this a bigger issue people! Its such a problem and no one is discussing it!

Even MORE Annoying is this related problem:

If i'm watching a program on live TV that happens to also be recording, I used to be able to pause, rewind it or jump back a few minutes, no problem. It never hurt the recording program to do that, and vice versa.

But NOW with the new software, the live program REFUSES to rewind if it's also recording - If you try to rewind it, it LOCKS on PAUSE instead, and the banner with the play arrow becomes unresponsive - there's no way to get it out of Pause on the main screen - Clicking Play, Jump ahead/back, or REV/FF has no effect - stays paused

WORKAROUND: The ONLY remedy I found was to click the DVR button, and go to the Recorded Programs list. Find the program that's recording (should have a red dot). Manually select the program and play it. When you re-play the recording, it responds to REW / FF Pause / Play as it should,

The bug ONLY becomes evident if you select a LIVE program from the Guide that happens to ALREADY BE RECORDING. A live program that's not recording works just fine.

I have that rewinding problem as well. Its very annoying. I exchanged boxes awhile ago and it still does it. There seems to be no information on it.
