It's deliberate on Cox's part.  I have three episodes of Riverdale where the same thing happens.  S4 ep 6, 7 & 8.  Haven't you noticed that on the shows that act up you are switched to ondemand where you can't fast forward through commercias?  I thought at first it was bad spots on the DVR drive so I saved the shows it happened on.  That way the bad spots would not be recorded on again.  That's when the pattern emerged.  We are being discouraged from using the DVR to bypass commercials and use ondemand where we can't.

    Conspiracy theorize much?  Cox has no reason to care if you fast forward through commercials in recorded programming.  But, you should check your TV for anything that could be a camera.  They might be watching you. ðŸ˜‰

    @JRkc89. It sounds like your box may also be having issues with the dvr. I recommend swapping the box or having a tech come out and take a look. -Allan. Cox Support Forums Moderator.
