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

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.
