I think you should have said 'in my case' instead of 'in my opinion.' If you don't watch network programming PTAT is not something you need. You can turn it off for that very reason. For the vast majority PTAT and its Auto Hop is a godsend....
Tonight the HWS showed that PTAT was fired, but yet it didn't record anything on any channel though if you looked at tuners, it indicated it was getting ABC. Irritating because some shows had finales that I've now missed.
