What’s the point in an app for the “television” that doesn’t let you scrub backwards and forwards through content!? It shows a time progress bar at the bottom, sure, but I’m not sure what kind of mystical rain dance needs to be done to actually use it as an actionable piece of user interface. Really, truly, honestly the most infuriating experience I’ve ever had with an Apple TV app. It’s like an iPhone not being able to make a phone call. Particularly bad as the app never seems to let you pick up from where you’ve left off, so your options are watch the entire 45 minutes again to catch up to where you left off or just burst into flames from the rage that trying to do something as monumentally complex as FAST FORWARD INSIDE A VIDEO APP. Please, STV, give your *video playback application* a way to *navigate through the video that’s playing on the Apple TV*. It’s not a lot to ask for. And while you’re at it, the ability to AirPlay from the iPad app would be cool.
Hi, scrubbing is a feature on all our catch-up shows and box sets and we don't have scrubbing on the Live stream as it's kept in sync with the live broadcast. Any partially watched show can be found in the Continue Watching row on the first page, or via the My List section in the navigation. AirPlay is available for Live TV on iPhones and iPads the option will be shown once the stream is playing. We are working on a new playback interface and extending AirPlay (for Standard users) to the non-live content and hope to have that out in the new year, so you'll be seeing an improvement soon.
