Unable to fast forward on E4

[jcolton]

Hi,

In the last few days, if we start a program late on E4 then when we try and fast forward we get:

Sorry this channel doesn't let you do that

Any tips?

thanks

I agree with this statement, it's fine if you pause live TV, watch on catchup or record and watch (hard drive space is very limited) but if you tune in part way through and choose watch from start, all of channel 4's channels will not allow you to fast forward anymore, just says "Sorry, this channel doesn't let you so that. Even if you rewind the programme after you have watched part of it, it won't let you fast forward at all, even to where you were when you pressed rewind.

Yes, noticed this recently. Presumably it's to stop you fast forwarding through the commercials.

Watch from a saved recording allows FF, watch from a restart doesn't.
