BUG: Skip Ahead & Skip Back should BOTH be 10 secs FWD & BACK and consistent on Apple TV
BUG: skip ahead & back should be shorter & consistent, 10 secs like satellite, always, on both forward and back
currently skip back is sometimes 30 secs or longer, which makes it useless compared to the 10 sec both directions on Directv satellite. On stream skip ahead is 90 seconds and randomly longer and skip back is 30, 45, 15, 90, you just never know how much. Makes it so unpredictable and basically useless, now it takes too long to go back to quickly rewatch something. This has stopped many friends from subscribing to Directv Stream.
you can always push the button (we use IR remotes on Apple TV) multiple times so direct tv stream should not show the total skipped, just 10 secs like every other app does

That’s not the way it works on the Apple TV version which has serious bugs! Skipping time is random but often 90 sec fwd and 30 secs back — sometimes different if live vs recorded and again sometimes different if paused vs during playing. Often it randomly does 15 secs, 45 secs, 90 secs, 120 secs, 240 secs, and sometimes but not always it adds the total times you press together (twice might be 60 secs sometimes but not always) it’s confusing, inconsistent, and ultimately frustrating and useless. This bug in particular has stopped many of our friends from wanting to subscribe to Directv stream. It’s wildly different than how the satellite works, and confusingly different than how ANY other streaming apps work, a super buggy implementation of a top important function

Juniper, where IS official Directv stream support available? (by email, not telephone)

I agree. The Apple TV app needs some work. The fast forward / skip being set to 90 seconds is a bit silly.
