I would use it if Dish would turn on the switch to allow PTAT to record our locals in HD. In some DMAs that had PTAT in SD , Dish never switched them to PTAT HD when they turned on HD locals. So right now I am for forgetting about autohop and getting a deal with Disney. I can do my own hopping and recording the local programs I want in HD. PTAT is not very useful for my DMA.I don't see Dish backing down on Autohop. And for those of you that don't like it or don't use it, I don't understand unless you just don't watch network TV. The autohop is awesome and I hate that it isn't on every program!
