Commercial avoidance keeps growing almost relentlessly and this is one more small step in that direction.<br /><br />Thanks for your interest in Media Realism.<br />DonDon Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07903518508898712459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5421461003602964443.post-28891879998665912442012-05-18T13:02:27.535-07:002012-05-18T13:02:27.535-07:00I wouldn’t say that TV is ruined, and the new Auto...I wouldn’t say that TV is ruined, and the new Auto Hop feature doesn’t delete or remove any of the commercials. This feature simply lets the user decide if you want to skip commercials or not a day after PrimeTime shows have recorded. The commercials will always be there if you want to watch them, Auto hop just does the fast-forwarding for you. I was thrilled when a couple of my coworkers at Dish told me about its function, and not having to manually fast forward any more. This will ease the burden of having to replace my remote batteries often.Jay Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852486603576814265noreply@blogger.com
