Can no longer rewind youtubeTV with appletv

i used to be able to rewind while watching live tv but this suddenly stopped working yesterday. It will rewind only a few minutes. I don’t know if it’s a problem with apple or youtubeTV. I know it’s not a hardware problem because it’s happening on both of my TVs. Both TVs have apple devices and use youtubeTV.

Apple tv rewinds by itself and menu button does not work Hi, I have a very strange problem: everything rewinds itself. From every app, apple apps and third party apps. it rewinds even while I stream a video from another apple device. the menu/back button does not work. Not from the remote and not from te digital one on other apple devices. Everything is up to date. I did a reset, with and without using an apple ID/backup, Wifi and cable internet, and I even bought a new Apple TV. Same problem. what is the problem? I really don’t know what to do 😭

Unable to FF / Rewind when using ITV's Hub App I have the latest version of the Apple TV device running the latest version of tvOS. On this device I have installed the BBC iPlayer App and the ITV Hub App, again both are the most recent versions available. However, when I use the ITV Hub App I cannot fast forward or rewind the playing stream using the remote. In addition to this I see that the remote control App on my aged iPhone 6 shows icons for a 10s rewind or fast forward when the iPlayer App is being used but nothing when the ITV Hub app is in use so again I can't rewind or fast forward using this either. Am I the only one experiencing this? I have tried uninstalling the offending application, reseting it to no avail is there something I am missing here? -- Regards, Bill

This issue is with how the YouTube TV developers implemented their app. How to contact an app developer - Apple Support. It may be that you can’t rewind beyond the starting point of your viewing session.
