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:
Licensed, Co-Productions and Wholly-Owned Television Shows…Explained!
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:
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.
