Today, Dish will announce a potentially controversial — but for most viewers welcome — feature for PrimeTime Anytime that will let you play recorded shows seamlessly without any of the commercials. It's called Auto Hop.
For starters, Auto Hop works only with your PrimeTime Anytime recordings, defined as all the programs automatically captured on ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC from 8 to 11 p.m. ET Monday through Saturday and 7 to 11 p.m. on Sunday.
You'll know when a commercial has been skipped. The kangaroo icon appears for a moment on the TV screen and you'll see a brief flash of a commercial.
Hopper has a 2-terabyte hard drive for 2,000 hours of storage, including up to 250 hours of HD recording time or 1,000 hours of standard-definition time.
Overall, Hopper has three satellite tuners, one dedicated to recording PrimeTime Anytime shows. You can save a PrimeTime Anytime show beyond the eight days it would otherwise be stored on the Hopper. During prime time, you can record up to six live HD channels at once.
