it's possible it might not be a huge issue for the networks because it's not skipping right away... it's shifted to 1AM so maybe it doesn't affect a significant enough of a broadcaster's revenue to make a big enough issue?
who knows, maybe Dish can even just add a few more pennies per subscriber and life goes on.

Wrong, directv only bought the assets and the patents.... The company itself went out of business! I'm here discussing satellite technology! Isn't that the purpose of here! Who said I hated dish? Show me the post where I said that! Oh, I never did! Another staff member assuming things that are not accurate! You knows when you assume!!!!!!!
what a dumb you know what
programmers just dont want it because most of the stations will go out of business that nobody watches

Commercials are one reason I got a dvr.
Blame Tivo's and dvr's for more and longer commercials. Now the broadcasters will use the auto hop, and similar features from other providers, as a reason for having even more or longer commercials. Not only will the longer commercials affect Dish subs, it would affect anyone who watches tv.

The patent lawsuits were another part on why they went out of business, but the lost revenue was a major part of the lawsuite aside from the ability to share programs across the Internet allowing non subs to see programming!
I tell ya what, no matter what Dish does there are going to be complainers. This is the same with any company though. People just like to look for the worst possible scenario.
Well that was an exciting and SURPRISING night.
Even I didn't know about "Auto Hop"
Once again SatelliteGuys shows why it is America's #1 Satellite Information Forum! Not even a peep of this at the "other" satellite forum!

Idk, I just hope there's more than just Auto Hop... Not trying to be a glass half-empty guy I just can't see how a feature that saves you a few button presses and has the potential to piss content providers off is so great...
Sounds like another thing to go wrong, and more trouble calls that the tech won't be able to fix, like all the rest of the trouble calls we're getting for these...
Yep, that's what I'm thinking too. Lost advertising revenue for networks = Higher fees to compensate.
