When scanning, the playback should 'reverse' some number of seconds to match what the user saw when he lifted his finger from the button. TiVo does this and it's makes the DVR do what the user expects. Now, if I wait until I see the part I want I have to reverse some number of seconds to see what I want to see. Unnecessary.

That was one of the cooler features of TiVo! I was always impressed by the thoughtfulness that went into it. I'm not sure how well it would translate to Channel's controller interface but I like the idea. I do remember some folks not liking it though, and had to use "backdoor codes" to toggle it off.
There was a Kodi plugin I used for this exact case called "Unpause Jumpback" when I used Tvheadend.
I can see such a feature making its way into Channels eventually.
