DVR functions on AppleTV
Hi --
Just joined DirecTV Stream, love the package and interface so far.
But: I'm watching via AppleTV, and it doesn't seem to enable REW for Live TV?? I can pause, and see a progress bar... hitting the back button multiple times brings up increasing increments of 15 seconds with each press... but the content doesn't rewind.
Is this feature not available??
Thanks for your help

Live channels don't have buffers like tivo. In order to rewind live TV you have to wait for a buffer to form after you switch to a channel. But if you switch channels you'll lose your buffer. The only way around this it to just record the channel.

OK great understood. But - what if the buffer is there? I was watching continuously but wanted to rewind a scene - but I couldn't.

This seems to have worked on small sample size. Thanks!
