I have noticed the auto hop feature has been missing shows. Like on Monday it missed hopping Hotel Hell but did have hop available for MasterChef. It just seems hit and miss and these shows are on the same channel.

I've been noticing this for a while. I don't really count on AutoHop. I just enjoy it when it does work.

I watched about 20 minutes of Hotel Hell last night... and got to be honest I can't remember if it had AutoHop or not. (And I turned it off as the old lady Hotel owner was driving me nuts.)

Does this issue occur on all your PTAT channels or a certain channel? Please let me know. Thanks.

I'm having some problems with this again too, Ray. As stated above, Hotel Hell, doesn't have auto-hop available, but at least one other show on WLAX-25 did on the same night. I have noticed at least one other show on that network didn't have auto-hop available either, but most have.

This happened a few months ago but all shows on WLAX-25 and on my ABC channel were affected that time.

It's occurring on all channels. Last night's America's Got Talent- No Auto Hop. Last Night's Celebrity Wife Swap-Has Autohop.

There is no rhyme or reason to it and it has been occurring more frequently lately.

Please PM me your receiver number so I can submit a trouble report to our engineers. Thanks.

Sounds good. Please remember that the new Hopper can take 24-48 hours to completely update the software for all the features. Thanks.

Ray. I just got a new receiver installed today (HWS). Let me test it a few days and if these issues continue, I will PM you.

I recorded America's Got Talent last night too and the Auto Hop is working fine on mine.

My recording of last night's America's Got Talent has auto hop enabled. Hotel Hell from Monday night, no auto hop. Here's a question for the globe, does anybody see Hotel Hell with auto hop?

I tested several PTAT recordings on our Hopper and a lot of those programs had Auto Hop. I did notice that one FOX PTAT recordings, Hotel Hell, did not have Auto Hop. The program must be nationally broadcast, not local programming, for Auto Hop to work. Thanks.

This happens every so often - it's no big deal, nothing wrong, etc, etc. I think it's just a case of the data being missed.
