Dish Network shocked us just a few days ago by improving its new Hopper DVRs with "Auto Hop" ad missing that specific prime time programming on broadcast TV taken via its PrimeTime Anytime feature, and predictably, the systems aren't happy.

Auto Hop really isn’t doing anything that new or different. Most of the stuff I watch is from my DVR—having a family, a full-time job at Dish, and being on a bowling league—I just don’t have time to watch stuff as it airs. When I do, I don’t mind watching the commercials, but if I watch something I’ve recorded (even back in the days of the mighty VCR), I’m going to fast forward through the commercials. All Auto Hop is doing is giving me the option to automate the process. It’s easier on the remote, saves batteries, and might just keep me from getting some type of repetitive stress injury. What’s wrong with that?
