There isn’t an deleting going on with the Auto Hop feature, but I can see where that impression may have been misunderstood with so many articles claiming the feature does. After 1 AM the next day after airing, it gives me the option to skip commercials that are recorded on my DVR with the PrimeTime Anytime feature though. That makes it nice for me because I only use one button to enable the feature for each program, rather than three or four presses of the skip button. I didn’t get to be in the beta group for the feature this time, as a Dish employee, but it works well just the same.
