I don't know if anyone here has a Hopper (I do) and the Auto Hop feature of PrimeTime Anytime works amazingly well. I work a lot of hours at DISH, most of them at night, so I'm not able to watch most of my favorite shows for days until after they aired. By the time I watch them they aren't even in consideration for what the advertisers pay the NBC/CBS/Fox/ABC. I think it's just a great way to simplify the user experience - Auto Hop doesn't proactively "hop over" commercials on PrimeTime Anytime recordings, it prompts the viewer if you want to watch the commercials or not. It's completely user controlled. Unlike ReplayTV, the commercials are still there. And since I also like to have the commercials play at times, especially if I'm working on a coding project, Auto Hop allows me to let a show play through with the commercials and enjoy quick little breaks to watch the show (or listen to it), and then when a commercial comes on I can power out a several lines of code. I like how DISH is constantly fighting for the customer - with both pricing and technology.
