DISH Introduces Commercial-Free TV With Auto Hop

Source: DISH Press Release

DISH (Nasdaq:DISH) announced that satellite subscribers will now have the choice to automatically skip over commercials. The new "Auto Hop" capability for the Hopper whole-home HD DVR system is being activated today, and it allows customers to skip all commercials for most recorded primetime HD programs shown on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC when viewed the day after airing.

The Hopper automatically stores these shows for eight days after they have aired, creating an on-demand library of approximately 100 hours of primetime TV shows, and making it easy to access episodes from last night, or last week.

Auto Hop does not work on live broadcasts.
