Had to start episode over after checking text message

I was 30 minutes into a hockey game and I got a text message. I chose to read it thinking I could come back to the DIRECTV app and resume play. Well, that wasnt the case. I was forced to start over. Id like to be able to leave the app and come back without loosing my place. Thanks.
