I am not at home, and will not be for the next 2 or 3 weeks, so I cannot see if I have it or not, but I can say that some shows will be not have autohop for one or two episodes out of the season. This was covered when advertised and sold, and received as "Select broadcasts" , and I am assuming(this is just a mere guess) that it does have something to do with contracts or keeping the channel owners happy for the courts when Dish can say "See, there was no difference". That is just my two cents, but as far as episodes, that is entirely possible. Another thing that could have occured, is if you lost power or signal in the PTAT time frame, I have seen it where autohop does not work that night, because it does not know where to implant the keys.
What ever Gary.
Luckily I don't worry too much about what you think about. I think you are little too fixated about being right and as such ,you miss the bigger picture.
Quite the opposite. I'm looking at the bigger picture, while you guys are are fixating on minutiae.What ever Gary.
I don't worry about what anybody thinks about. So, I understand that point.
I could care less about CBS and their stupid 7 day contract. Do they really think people are just going to suddenly watch commercials because the autohop is turned off for a bit?
That is crazy.
That is crazy.
It is going to be their way of selling ad time. With auto hop it is harder to sell ad time, but that is their issue... Not the consumers. Me personally. I don't mind the banners and pop ups during shows, which would be more effective if they ran shows longer, and advertised while the show was playing.
Ha, I know it would likely be the majority opinion, your stance, but that was just me personally. For me, shows are really just a way to escape reality, so as long as those ads do not take up to much room, and make no noise, I would be ok with it. Like when Fox advertises Simpsons during New Girl. just a small corner, and completely out of mind. Hell, may even be more effective for advertisers as it would deliver that subconscious sell, and makes the brain assume it is something truly needed and desired, rather than just the crap we all can logically think it is.No Thank You, on that one.
Those on-screen ads jolt me right back into reality, and make it that much more difficult to escape into the show/movie.
Couldn't care less, Couldn't care less, Couldn't care less...
Wow. That is not a mistake I make very often.
But I certainly notice when others type or say the same thing. lol
Kind of a sign this thread has more than run it's course... "do, or don't you" agree???Depends. If going for the most negative extreme of caring it has to be, "Could not care less"
And this is much more fun then the Auto Hop being off for a few days topic.
I agree it has devolved into discussion about minute details , that some care about and the rest could care less about. I don't care if that is grammatically correct either. Everyone knows what it means when you say could care less.

Some of those banners take up a full 1/4 of the bottom of the screen. And some are animated. It's as if the broadcaster is trying to tell us we'll like the ads they show on this other show better than the show we're trying to watch.
Broadcasters are the only business I know that think it is a good idea to pollute their product.
Product placement seems to be on the rise. It wasn't that long ago that the items would be altered so you couldn't see a brand name. Not any more....
