I am betting that if the networks gave the satellite companies a few minutes each hour to air their own commercials then we wouldn't have this commercial skipping technology on our DVR's.
The networks have simply gotten fat and greedy over the years. Commercial time has gone from 5-6 minutes/half hour to 10 (plus a lot more on some cable channels). No wonder people want to skip commercials when 1/3 of a show is commercials.
Wow once again d-tv people get to sit back and rip the benefits of E's hard work and will the die-hard appreciate it, I bet not.
Well, I've got to admit, I'm watching a few commercials. Skip ahead, "what was that," go back.
Since the skipping doesn't happen for 24 hours, there must be a reason. It only gets counted as "viewed" if within 24 hours? In which case, this will not affect network ad revenues.
In any event, even if the big OTA networks won't air Dish commercials, there are plenty of other networks that will.
If the networks would give DISH or DIRECTV 3 minutes per hour to insert their own commercials then none of this would be happening. Just like they do for their cable networks.
I didn't know that. Unequal treatment. Maybe that will come up in court, too.
I am not making anything up, please learn to read.
To clarify... what is the big reason why they are not using AutoHop on ALL the channels DISH carries?
The big reason is all the cable networks give DISH, DIRECTV and Cable Companies a few minutes an hour to insert their own commercials to their viewers. DISH and the other companies can (and do) sell this ad time to other companies and they make some big bucks selling this ad time. Any extra time they have left unsold they can stick in ads for DISH PPV or other DISH ads.
Now with the Big 4 Networks DISH and the other companies get ZERO AD TIME to insert their own ads. What I was saying is imagine if the Big 4 gave them 3 minutes an hour to insert their own ads. My feeling is if they did this there would be no auto hop because DISH (or no other company) wants to harm its own ad revenue.
And that's what I was trying to say.

I would think this helps Dish with the copyright and vod claims of PTAT

Same logic dish is using. In ny, the customer is renting a remote storage device and controls it.
With dish, the customer has the complete recording with ads and must physically choose to skip the ad.
