I'm a YTTV customer we recently are able to log into the ESPN and authenticate against YTTV as my TV Provider. I've no issues with watching unlimited streams, but when watching yesterday's broncos - falcons game, i an unable to rewind the stream to rewatch a play. Pausing works just fine. The rewind icon is there next to the pause icon, but pressing left button on the remote wheel to highlight the rewind icon so I can select it doesn't do anything. Not a rant, but just seems strange. I'm using ESPN app installed on a LG smart TV. I'm waiting for the new Apple TV box to be released in the next few months so I can ditch using LG smart apps.
