I subscribe to the Pac-12 network on DISH and get 5-channel lineup. What’s revealing is how often the non-primary channels are simply empty. But, this does mean that I got the Cal game from Seattle and I auto record the games, so I can skip forward to my heart’s content…
I noticed that on Sling, the SEC channel would not let you skip forward in watching a full-game replay. It would let you rewind and rewatch a play (or more), and you could skip forward to the point to which you'd gotten to. (But, you couldn't go back and rewatch the 2nd quarter at the start of halftime, and then skip forward to the end of halftime or however far the game got while you were reviewing early play.) I very much prefer that to the ESPN channels that don't let you rewind at all.
And I'm still leery that PAC-12 might be fiddling with the playback speed when they insert their own commercials, even in the middle of play (in live or recorded programs). If they extend the recording time by 8 minutes when they insert four 2-minute commercials, ok. But if they take a 2 hour program, expand it to 2:08 with commercials, and then speed it up to show 2:08 in 2:00, then that is not good.
