How the TV Industry Blew Its Best Chance to Kill Dish's Ad-Skipping Technology
Eriq Gardner Dish Network recently introduced a new DVR that will automatically delete commercials. A potential lawsuit will be even more bloody than what happened years ago to ReplayTV.
Personally, I wish Auto Hop deleted commercials, but it really doesn’t. Auto Hop just gives you the option to skip over commercials recorded the night before using Primetime Anytime. I like how the day after my primetime shows have been recorded, Dish gives me (the customer) the option to watch or to skip commercials. I’m glad my co-worker at Dish showed me that feature, because it is absolutely amazing how much time that saves. I’m happy that Dish is recognizing how viewers are the ones who should be in control of their TV’s.
