AutoHop questions

I love auto hop but I have two questions:
1. Is there a way to have it always work when it's available. I don't need or want to be asked!
2. Why would a show recorded over 24 hours ago not have the autohop option? It was shark tank on ABC from friday night (it's now sunday night).

I can answer those for you.

1) Unfortunately the receiver will always ask if you want auto hop because it has to be customer initiated. There is no way to change that.

2) ABC content will not become available for auto hop until 72 hours after it records. This was one of terms that changed in the new contract with Disney earlier this year.

Somebody has to manually mark the ads in these programs. It used to be the DVR would read the black frames before and after commercials, but advertisers got wise and removed most of them.

I don't use autohop, it find it easier to use the skip forward button and do it myself - it works on EVERY channel.
