EDIT: Just read this more closely.

That may actually be true and would explain the mixed experience we have had.

With Hulu Live we can record shows to the DVR. I can't remember how many total hours but it's pretty high for what we use. However, many of the shows we record are also available On-Demand. If we choose the copy on the DVR then we can fast-forward through commercials but if we choose the On-Demand version we cannot. SOMETIMES, we try to watch the DVR version but either can't fast-forward or the playback freezes. Perhaps those times are examples of where it really wasn't recorded at all but was just presented that way while they actually sent the On-Demand version.
