fast forward has been disabled by the broadcaster
Why am I getting this message on my live tv as well as my PVR recorded programs? On live tv I can’t go back to rewatch a play without this message “fast forward has been disabled by the broadcaste...
The majority of TV programming is licensed:

With respect to sports this may be of interest:

Finally restrictions can be place on how a show is viewed and whether or not it can be recorded. This is typically determined by the licensee:

Community Power UserI believe this is related to the content and not necessarily the broadcaster. This has been reported on both Telus and Rogers devices and typically has to do with licensing for the show in question.
I dont belive this is licensing it has been happeing on every program TSN and all their channels?
This is a policy of that TSN(aka Bell) that I belive was implemented to stop recorded and live programming form fast forwarding.
TSN has told me this is a Telus issue and they sent me a web page for Telus help.
If this is the case what is the point of a PVR? And if TSN can get away with this then where does it stop?
But thanks for the reply.
I just recorded CFL playoffs in 30 on TSN1. I have no issues fast-forwarding the program.
