Tell me if this sounds familiar – you’re sitting on a couch watching television, and the commercial breaks seem way longer than the snippets of the show you’re actually trying to watch. As it turns out, some Dish Network customers have been granted a bit of respite from that advertising onslaught. Users who have their living rooms tricked out with the company’s Hopper DVRs can now automatically skip every commercial break with a single touch thanks to their newly-launched Auto Hop feature. They’ll never have to sit (or 30-second skip) through another promo for America’s Got Talent ever again… unless they’re the kind of people who like their television live.
Re: Dish Network’s Hopper DVRs Can Now ‘Auto Hop’ Through Commercials
Having a Hopper IS like having a tricked out living room! I fell in love with the Hopper when it was introduced to us Dish employees before it launched back in March. Now that we’ve added the Auto Hop feature, I can choose to watch my PrimeTime Anytime recordings without commercials. It’s definitely going to give me more time to actually watch the shows on NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX that I like.
