Has DirecTv changed the skip forward setting from 30 seconds to 15 seconds for recorded shows yet?

Has DirecTv changed the skip forward setting from 30 seconds to 15 seconds for recorded shows yet?  It's hard to watch recorded football games with 30 seconds.  Is DIRECTV thinking about making a fast-forward less than 30 seconds?

It's currently at 30 seconds, @ptsell. We'll pass along this great idea to make the fast-forward feature 15 seconds to the appropriate team, so they can review and determine the next steps. Rizza, DIRECTV Community Team

Hopefully, they can make that change to 15 seconds soon. I'll sign up when it changes, but as of now I'm using other streaming services until that issue is changed.

It was 15 seconds years ago. Doubt they will go back to it

Selectable would be ideal.  I have an app that DVRs OTA programming.  It can be customized at several intervals.  On the TV where I usually watch sports, I have it set at 15.  On the TV where my wife and I would watch other programming, we have it set at 30.

However, I wouldn't hold my breath for any change to the DIRECTV implementation.
