No auto hop on NBCs SVU

[tasmithe]

No auto hop on NBC's SVU from last night . All the nbc programs have auto hop. I rebooted the hopper no change. Wonder what causes this?

I see Autohop on my HWS. I have had that happen before on the occasional show.

As per Dish's agreement with NBC, Dish’s AutoHop ad-skipping functionality won't be available for NBC stations until seven days after a program first airs.

That report is a year old. I have never waited 7 days on NBC. I wonder when the delay will be implemented.

None of my PTA NBC recordings that are less than a week old have auto hop available

Is your NBC station owned by NBC? Mine is not, so the delay may only be for O&O only.

I believe it's only the nbc o&o that have the 7 day delay

That's only for O&O I believe and it seems like the rest of the shows had it for him. He probably just needed to rest the Hopper.

Well if they think having the delay will force customers to watch the commercials, they are mistaken! On shows that don't have autohop, i've become a pro at skip ahead several times quickly so I dont even have to watch one commercial.

Yep....I've learn that the first commercial break is shorter than the rest. Usually around the two minute 30 second mark. Subsequent breaks, I stop at 3 minutes and 30 seconds. That's sometimes spot on or just a click or two away.
