Didn't the networks use to complain decades ago, when people were first allowed to record shows on their VHS tapes? Seriously, they complain about anything and everything that's consumer-friendly.
It's a shame that AutoHop is being relegated to the sidelines. At least the good thing is that, like previously mentioned, most shows these days have commercial breaks ranging from 2:30 to 5 minutes, in 30-second increments, so pressing the 30-skip button about 5-7 times is usually sufficient enough to bypass most, if not all, of the commercials.
As for the shows I watch... X-Files for sure. Hope FOX renews it. Also can't wait for The Wall, on NBC.
