Auto Hop?

[reubenray]

I just recently started to get popups asking if I want to use AutoHop or not. I like this feature, but is there a way to make it permanent instead of asking each time I start a recording?

Dish marks each PTAT recording to indicate where the commercials are.

No it is by the individual program recorded by Prime time Anytime. For legal reasons they want to make sure the viewer answers that question so it doesn't look like DISH is skipping everything automatically without consent. The networks really want you to watch the commercials. Also the different channels in your area might have different days that they request a show go before auto hop kicks in. In my areas ABC is automatic the next day and for my CBS and NBC it is 7 days before it kicks in. Fox is like 3 - 4 days before it kicks in.

I think the networks went overboard with commercials. Drove people to get creative.
