ENHANCEMENT REQUEST: Directv Stream Live TV IR Fwd & Back Should Not Change Channels
On the Apple TV version of Directv Stream, if you are using an IR remote,
when you are watching live tv and you want to quickly skip back or skip forward,
pressing those buttons advances or reverses the channel, which is not what you
want; in the case of live TV the fwd and back buttons should skip fwd and back.
They do work if you first press the pause button, but since it is not required to
press the pause button to fwd and back when watching a recording, it makes no
sense to only require it for live TV. The fwd and back channel function should
be assigned to some other button or simply removed.

The buttons should be assigned as follows:
LEFT -> Skip Back
RIGHT -> Skip Forward
UP -> Next Channel
DOWNM-> Previous Channel
Currently the UP and DOWN buttons show things like The previous channel thumbnails, but these can be removed, or assigned to functions in the left side menu so the RIGHT & LEFT buttons can be freed up and then properly assigned to be FWD and BACK as would make more sense.
