Over the last 3 weeks about 10% of my PTAT programs do not have auto-hop enabled. I call Dish this morning and was told it is a known issue. They are working on it.
This just shows me how spoiled I've become with Autohop. Now I have to remember to grab the remote to skip commercials. Autohop had me used to just making the initial selection at the beginning and then just sitting back and watching certain shows.
