If the autohop feature is illegal then every dvr that has a 30 second skip or fast fwd is illegal no matter who the provider is. The networks are a bunch of cry babies anyway. Do they really want to make all dvr manufacturers do away with the 30 sec skip?

Commercials still get through to people when using 30 second skip and seeing a quick snippet of something that interests them to skip back. Or at times when people aren't immediately at the remote and the commercials keep playing. I actually fast forward through commercials because believe it or not I like to see commercials for stuff that interests me. Automatically completely skipping them is removing them.
I should've been clear in my post, I have cable options in my area. Wouldn't go to directv since they dropped G4.

I have learned over the years here, sometimes to my embarrassment, that often it is a matter of English as a second language (note "I miss the german ch & news ch"), or disability. Or even the misfortune of a poor education, perhaps even not recognizing the limited communication skills. I try to "stifle" myself and appreciate the effort.
The misuse of punctuation and lack of capitalization, combined with the awful spelling and grammar, tells me it's just another English-speaking twit. That is, one who learned how to write by using Twitter and texting.
I wouldn't mind an increase based on the fact your going from SD to HD on the second tv when going from a 722K to a H/J. But a $11 increase is too much. Main reason why I still have my 722K and didn't upgrade to a H/J. I'm still getting HD programing on that secondary tv from ota, Xbox 360 and Roku player.Ya, and there is no benefit at all from the Hopper system. It might make a difference if you had HD DVR service at every TV, and a way to watch recordings from any room, or if there was a way to skip commercials easier. Maybe if you had more storage than a VIP receiver, or it had more tuners, or maybe if other magazines said it was a very good receiver. Or if Direct TV charged a $20 whole home service fee. Then maybe the Hopper would be worth it over the one HD/one SD VIP receiver.
Yeah, that's about the tipping point for me, too. Add no OTA and no manual timers to that, and it's a no-brainer for me to wait.
I thought you already had the hopper ? Are you waiting only for ota to be added before you make the "hop"?
That is one reason. Another is once conus locals go away for my market, I may not even stay with dish and start playing the new user discount game.
