I noticed that last week's Big Bang Theory didn't have AutoHop and presumed it was a glitch. Forgot all about this coming on.... But wait, my CBS is not owned-and-operated by CBS. Those weren't supposed to be affected.
The St Louis area has been effected too, haven't seen CBS PTAT AutoHop last couple days. I hope this means we are getting closer for Dish adding some additional CBS channels!
Our CBS is not OO. Noticed that some recent CBS shows haven't gotten autohop but it's hard to tell if it's just a normal miss or due to the new agreement. Either way, will probably just delete CBS timers on my Hopper. When autohop and PTA are negotiated to worthlessness I will cancel Dish.
PTAT isn't affected, only the auto-hop feature.
And if you cancel Dish, where will you go that has those features working? IOW, I don't understand your logic.
THAT I can understand!
Autohop is a very nice feature, but for me it won't be as noticeable when/if it ends as I have a tendency to his the 'skip' button anyway since most channels don't have it to begin with.
I still have eight days of CBS PTAT programs. The last day CBS AutoHop has worked is three programs on Tuesday 24 February. Wednesday 25 February thru Tuesday 3 March, no CBS AutoHop.
Doesn't do me any good. We stay fairly current watching programs in My Recordings. We of course get behind during the week but most of the time get caught up on the weekend.
Same here. By Sunday I am all caught up on my shows and I delete as I go ,so I will probably never see auto hop on Cbs shows. Doesn't really matter to me ,because I mostly watch my shows on my I-pad at work and there is no auto hop anyway.
Same, I even watched Hawaii 5-0 last night without it. Tryed holding out, but finally said screw it, but I think that was CBS's point. As long as I have the skip forward button, I am a happy customer. Plus, I still have autohop on the other stations I rarely watch.
A few years ago, I'd wait the 7 days, but current CBS programming just isn't as compelling to me anymore. I'm trying out a base Roamio now and it can handle OTA pretty good. And $12.50 a month isn't bad for a better guide than Dish/Tribune.
Same here, CBS is our most watched network. We are too excited to watch our favorite shows and can't wait 7 days to view them. We have tried, but no luck.
Maybe someday this will all blow over in the distance far far future we will have immediate AutoHop and all channels. Doesn't hurt to wish!! 
Three days was reasonable. 7 days is completely ludicrous. Can't believe Dish negotiated such a BAD deal. They better have gotten the channels for FREE! This is a real disappointment. Very poor deal this one is. I'm already seeing where we have 2 new programs and neither have autohop. That's just crazy. Not happy with this.
