Autoplay - how to turn it off?

[MikeD-C05]

I don't think so. I have that feature and Autoplay still works even though TV Enhancement is turned off. I used it to binge watch East New York.

I wouldn't use this feature anyway. I rarely watch more than one episode at a time. I am not a binge watcher.

Most times, you don't have a choice at all. If there is a later (2nd) recording of the show in the series, you have to watch for the notice to come up and manually cancel it, or it will just start playing the next in the series. They are trying to mirror the Bing-Watching features of the streaming channels where you can continuously binging all the show's episodes.

Streaming and binge-watching make sense, but trying to watch shows in natural order (i.e., last week's Chicago Med, Fire, PD) before you watch this week's series is a royal PITA!

I watch most of my programs the week they air. I don't save up episodes to binge watch at a later time.

And I hate the auto-play on all the streaming services too. Some people love it, I don’t. Let me turn it off!

Today I'm watching Law & Order I recorded on WE. 17 minutes before the end of the episode the auto play dialog box appears asking to play the next episode. I caught it on time and clicked no but sometimes if I'm distracted I don't catch it. There should be a way to disable this defective 'feature'.

Something about the feature should be optional. One way is just a pure choice of whether it is enabled or disabled. Another way might be to choose whether the default is to play the next episode, or to behave as if autoplay is disabled, so we can at least affirm that we want to play the next episode for an unlimited time once the current recording ends.

It's a problem that the choice appears before the end of the episode, sometimes very near the beginning. Also, sometimes the timeout to make the choice is extremely short, perhaps less than one second.

This feature works much like Netflix when you end an episode and the next one is up in 5 ,4 ,3,2,1 Plays. I see this on just about all the streaming services with multiple episodes. It is like a binge feature. You can alway hit stop when it appears on the right hand side of the screen and it goes away.

I have gotten this from Netflix and DO NOT like it. Should be opt-in, not opt-out. It's no problem for me on my non-hopping DiSH (ViP 722). It never tries to start another episode.

Different receivers, different software and features.

And that's a good thing, right? Why do I want a hopper?
