well, i see Disney and Dish have reached a short term deal and are in talks now for long term deal. but i want to know, now when does the short term expires. does it expires as soon as talks end or does it have a certain date. this is gonna be a long and busy month for us at Satellite Guys.
So disney/espn/abc knows they cant beat dish in court over auto hop...so it sounds like an ultimatum. ..add all channels plus 2 new ones and we wont worry about auto hop ...If not...duces ...your call
I have a feeling dish will call there bluff and try to not add 2 new channels which will lead to a busy day for csrs at dish
Should be interesting

Man,I wonder how many Ipads Charlie stocked up on?He's going to have to give a bunch away if the talks break down.
As to autohop,Disney is making that a big sticking point over 8 owned and operated ABC channels?Give me a break,evil,greedy,mouse!

I wonder how the Networks would feel if AutoHop was not available on the Hopper until 36 hours after the showed aired?
What would you guys think about that?

Interesting. So instead of 2am, make it 2pm the 2nd day?
?Might work......
I don't even know why people like auto hop. For me, 30 second skip and 10 second reverse are much better and efficient than auto hop.
The AutoHop feature can be a sticking point given that whatever concession is made to ABC (if any) would need to applied to NBC, CBS, and FOX also (or Dish is buying a whole mess of trouble).
I don't see Dish killing AutoHop for anybody so I'm not sure what Disney/ESPN/ABC expects Dish to do? A longer time after broadcast? Only one AutoHop watch allowed for each show? Wish I could be a fly on the wall.

two words "Hopper Autoskip"BTW before anyone asks...
My gut is in a knot... now knowing this extension was only for a day or two has me hopeful yet I know it can all blow up... thus the knot.
The gut however was correct that they would not be shut off today.
It really makes no difference to me with auto hop. It is a great feature. But I also know how to skip without it.
I like it, don't see any commercials skips right over. And of course don't have to touch the remote
I read somewhere that if a show is watched within so many hours after it airs on a DVR that it's still considered a live viewing this helps for ratings.
The 36 hours is just a timeframe I pulled out of the air.
