Did your parents refuse to buy you a PlayStation as a child? Or did Sony refuse to affiliate with your site? Your negative reporting on PlayStation Vue has gotten so blatantly obvious. You "did some digging"? Where? On Reddit? The PlayStation Community Forum? "PlayStation Vue Quietly Changes How Their DVR Works", is based on NINE COMMENTS in a community forum & 20 comments on Reddit (several which have been deleted), discussing an issue seen on ONE network & experienced by only a couple of users! No official word from Sony, no comment from unnamed sources, and you appear to be the ONLY site reporting this. Did you even consider talking to current subscribers and see what their experiences were before reporting on this? "Cord Cutters News was able to reproduce this issue and confirmed that it is happening on PlayStation Vue. So far nothing leaves us to believe that this is a glitch but Sony has yet to respond to our request for comment." -- how exactly did you reproduce this? Because I can tell you that I can fast forward through the commercials on ALL the programs saved to my DVR and even some of the commercials within OnDemand videos. Maybe Sony hasn't replied because its a non-issue. Maybe there haven't been any changes to their DVR & they're not interested in promoting stories behind false & misleading headlines. Last week, you falsely reported that Sony was raising their prices, when in fact, they did no such thing. They eliminated discounted rates which were originally offered to compensate for something they are now offering to almost everyone, something YOU have reported on consistently for the last year. Why not tell the full story -- the HONEST story -- rather than sensationalize it for a few clicks? Why not report that Sony is the only streaming provider thats actually LOWERED their subscription rates since first launching, while making huge improvements? If I were a Sony rep, I wouldn't be interested in talking with someone who goes out of their way to misrepresent facts that casts a negative shadow over my company. The way you report a story goes a long way with your readers. Its almost if you want them to get angry & leave Sony & head on over to a competitor like Sling, a company you so obviously have an interest in.

The internet never forgets ... though to be honest, I didn't think he'd actually delete it. I will now not only read CCN's posts with a grain of salt, but the comments as well.
It just occurred to me, why would Sony go to the trouble of implementing a restriction on fast-forwarding DVR'd content when it has yet to fill it's allotted ad slots on various channels? I can't tell you how many times I see during a commercial break the blue screen with PS Vue logo in place of an actual commercial.
You can duplicate the FF issue if you don't have show added to favorites. This was something I figured out a long time ago when I also thought FF wasn't working.
How is a show recorded to the cloud DVR if it's not added to favorites (My Shows)? Why would you expect to FF if it isn't? (I'm not talking about VoD content or "Catch Up" shows with this issue since we know FF is disabled for those options.)
if I am understanding you, only shows you "recorded" (added to favorites/my shows) have FF capability. If that is what you are saying, I do believe that is correct. I have only tried VOD instead of a recording once, Into the Badlands I think it was, and with VOD I could not FF. Once I added it to "my shows" to record, I could FF just like on a physical DVRWith Fire Tv all shows are recorded to cloud for up to 7 days. (Everything) and can be watched even if not added to favorite shows. FF won't work here. Only shows added to favorites does FF work from my experience.

So again, if Sony has changed the DVR within Vue, it would seem because more programming has become On demand. I just know the choice of which to watch started popping up a few weeks ago.
No problem for me on The Strain or GOT either.No problems fast-forwarding Preacher this week, so definitely a glitch.
So if I bump up to GB service from Cox and get a 2 TB Cap and stream tv full time say 10-12 hours a day would I use that cap up?
