Installed the app yesterday. Maybe it works okay for watching live races, but for pre-recorded stuff… I tried to watch yesterday's Giro d'Italia stage and fast forward to the last few kilometers. Is it just me or is this impossible to do?! Okay, technically it is possible, but it would required me to continously swipe right on the remote for several minutes straight as each swipe only moved the timeline further by some 30-60 seconds?!

I don't understand how it could take them so long to get the app released and still fail this badly. Surely they did not start coding from zero? They already had the Eurosport Player app, all they needed to do was put a GCN skin on top of it! While ESP also leaves much to be desired it at least ages better than the current iteration of GCN+.

Yeah it’s definitely annoying. I ended up just watching the half hour replay show.
