TV Pause still a great big mess!
Wrangled with Roku Chat Support for almost 2 hours last night. Furnished this AI generated summary of what I was complaining about several times as they repeatedly asked me to hold on for "2 minutes" as they got a higher-up to take their place:
Many Roku users have reported the same frustrating behavior. When you pause and try to rewind or fast forward, the progress bar now shows the absolute earliest time of the recording and the maximum projected time (up to 90 minutes) rather than your exact relative position in the buffer. This is an issue with the Roku software itself, not your antenna or USB drive.
They asked me to send them a photo of my TCL Roku TV screen twice, and did.
They pretended to not know they have issues with TV Pause. Did finally say they are working on things and will furnish fixes.
Was asked if I had freezes. I did have, but had forgotten. Also, the replay button made the buffer disappear in going to a different channel, WTF! They just blew up the whole TV Pause feature. If I want to watch TV now I'll have to use my Tablo 4th generation DVR, which has its own set of bugs with my TCL Roku TVs, but not the complete disaster that Roku has created for no apparent reason AFAIK.
