FAST Channel recording unable to adv forward

I’ve noticed a problem with recordings made from the FAST streaming channel ‘Space Science Now’. I recorded a show called Planet Hunters. I can only fast forward to the 7:40 timestamp. The video clips showing all appear to be commercials but if I play before the 7:40 mark it plays the actual video content. But I cannot advance past the 7:40 mark. I’ve noticed similar behavior on several recordings from the ‘Space Science Now’ and deleted the shows. Not being able to fast forward, for me, makes these shows unwatchable. I have not experienced this with other FAST recordings. The problem occurs on both my Roku devices but I noticed it does not happen on my iPad. 4th Gen tablo!
Is this an intentional or normal behavior for FAST recordings? Has anyone experience this problem?
thx

I see issues with playback of recordings on “space science now”, but only on my android phone and android tablet. It starts, but I can’t advance past the first few seconds and then it doesn’t play at all. It works fine on my Google Chromecast with Google TV and also on iPad and Apple TV. I haven’t tried recording any other fast channels recently, but I will do that next and reply.

I’m reassured to hear that I’m not the only one. Thx for posting

Just a side note that Philo has Space Science Now. You can get a free Philo account (only has the FAST channels, not traditional cable), and it has a 30-day unlimited DVR.

I have the exact same problem with the Science Now channel. I can’t fast forward after 1 to 5 minutes of program time, depending on the episode.
