Auto hop thats a nice feature!

Everyone who has an iPhone and the USA today app open it now and check the tech section.

Holy crap. Was this leaked a little early?

...or go here: Dish's Auto Hop skips commercials in recorded shows

NOTE According to article, Autohop apparently only works on PTAT recordings.

That's going to piss off the broadcasters and content providers and advisors. Lots of money to be loss there as well as a loss of eyeballs on those commercials!

No different than commercial advance that has been out for years Bob or ffwd button on the remote...

 

[Scherrman]

It's different.

Then again, everyone with a DVR already does it, just manually.

 

[Teehar]

Personally I love the idea but bet there will be a huge uproar by the broadcasters.

Yep. But nice while it lasts!

 

[Scherrman]

Could be that big thing that makes people pick dish. Ya never know.

 

[tigerfan33]

Another lawsuit

 

[agarrett22]

Like the idea but sounds like a big fight waiting to happen, wondered when someone would come out with a feature like that

 

[DWS44]

Would be even bigger if they could make it work on all recordings, instead of just PTAT stuff.

THAT'S the big announcement? Really? That's it? I am majorly disappointed.

 

[Lt Disher]

Sounds like a great feature, but I suspect the renewal negotiations with local networks will be become more contentious than in the past. It could signal more channels being pulled. DISH seems to like to poke the content distributors in the eye. Someday it may come back to bite them, but for now I will use the feature and love it.

There is more to come.

If you ask me, it's a bit of a letdown. I've gotten pretty good at manually "hopping" over commercials that I don't watch even bits of them. I was hoping for OTA or Hopper integration.
