The Fibe App IS very, very good. I would give Bell some time first and try it out for awhile. The DVR functionality and availability of you stuff via the app is great. You just have to live without series set up and onDemand content.
You can't FF anything that you "restart" or that is OnDemand (even if you rewind it). I don't use the Record Series feature what so ever, it's a pain and very unreliable. For sports I record what I want on a day to day basis. e.g. tennis gran slam ...
It's still an issue. It makes the "Restart" feature and the "OnDemand" features useless. I never use them, I use the PVR to record what I can. You can FF stuff you record.On another note, TSN is still just as crappy
