Watching Recorded Shows Cannot Fast Forward without Jumping Back To Beginning

When watching a recorded show and fast forwarding, we frequently get a spinning circle and an error message indicating something about a congested network, then it reverses the recording back to the beginning.

Are FireTV 4K Max sticks and the FireTV Cube (Gen 3) reasonable platforms for Stream

latest update of ur stream App is terrible.

Directv stream box goes back to 'Your TV' screen every 10 minutes

While watching any live tv on my Directtv stream box, after exactly 10 minutes it goes back to the 'Your TV' screen and I have to press ok on the remote to get back out of it to the channel.

Recent software update is slow and not as user friendly as past configuration on streaming service. Was advised to uninstall and reinstall which I did and it did not resolve my issues.
