No, it's for actual use. As noted, most people are getting it. I've never had an auto hop not work.

My Hopper only has a total of 23 events in the PTAT folder because I just enabled it one this on the other day. Out of those 23 events, I have AutoHop on 19 of them. The 4 events without are 2 episodes of the local news and 2 episodes of COPS. If AutoHop is only airing on 50% of the local programs then maybe your local affiliates are airing different programming than the majority of us? Do you have a lot of live events in your PTAT folder or lots of news programs?

My issue is not with live events or news, it's with shows that should have it and do have it sometimes. As I said for the most part it's shows airing at 10pm. Shows that other people get autohop on, yet I do not. The only thing anyone will tell me is that it's subject to availability. This tells me nothing, are my local affiliates doing something to the feeds? I just want it to work properly or get an actual reason as to why so often I am without it.

I just looked at my PTAT folder and the all of the shows that should have Autohop except for the Office on 1/24 have it.
I just looked at my PTAT folder. I have 58 events in there. 57 of them have Auto Hop. The one that doesn't is a local news program....
Are you eastern Time Zone? Do any other eastern Time Zone subs have this issue with 10pm ptat events? What local market are you in?
There has to be some way to figure this out. Surely I am not alone in this and if I am then that is an issue in itself.

I'm on EA and live on the east coast and as I posted earlier the only non-news program missing autohop was The Office on 1/24.
I just verified that Auto Hop should work on all PTAT events other than live events or sports. If they don't, I would recommend letting DIRT know so they can send a report to the correct people to investigate further.
Thanks for your help lucky, dish software contacted me and after getting some info and screen shots they are looking into it. Hopefully they can figure something out.
