"Satellite TV provider Dish Network's new ad-skipping feature, AutoHop,
enables subscribers to black out ads on programs they've saved on their
digital video recorders. When activated, AutoHop turns the screen dark
when a commercial arrives, then returns to the show a few seconds later. CBS, NBC and Fox

the financial foundation of the entire television industry. The AutoHop,
which launched in May, is only available for use on shows on broadcast
networks CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox and not on cable channels."
