Hi there, @user_ihcn56! Thanks for reaching out about your DVR going back when you are fast forwarding. We are glad to help and understand that is frustrating to have happened. How are you watching the service such as on a Smart TV, on a mobile device, or with a TV box?

 

Are you noticing this with particular programs or times those shows were recorded or does it seem random?  

 

What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

Issue happens when using our LG smart TV and the Comcast remote.  Notice it most often with sports programs, but that is what I primarily record so could be an issue for other shows as well.

Also having issues with the mute button response when using the Comcast remote.  Muting starts and stops in a split second, then jumps to a LG audio control menu when mute is pressed again.

user_ihcn56 Thank you for those details. It sounds like the box is having issues communicating with the system. When was the last time the box was reset/unplugged from the power?
