Thread: How do I fast forward live TV? I have Dish network, help!?

Okay, so my family just got Dish Network installed and I'm really confused. Whenever I watch a movie I can record whenever I want and how much I want and when I watch live news I can pause and rewind as far as 2 hours back but I can't fast forward 2 hrs ahead...? Is this normal?! Other than that it's working great and I love it but I wish I could tell what's going to happen on the news like it's so suspenseful because there was a girl missing the other day (can't remember her name) and I wanted to go ahead so I could see if she'd be found safely. (She was okay but I had to wait it out and I was worried the whole time) Will they ever upgrade to this feature? Thanks in advance

I forgot to mention I dropped the remote a couple times but I didn't think it hurt it... thanks for your responses, I'll call customer service if I can't find a solution tomorrow and maybe they can send me a new remote

zzzz

You have a broken _______________ (fill in the blank), you should call Dish Network and complain. Helping someone with this problem will make their day.

As soon as time travel into the future is invented you'll be able to do the 2 hour fast forward.

In the meantime you should watch the TV show "Flash Forward". That's as close as you'll get except for some old Star Trek episodes.

Here is a thought.

Record the news, say at 6 or 10 PM, then watch them 2 hrs later!! Then you can FF as much as you want.
