Fox sues Dish again over the Hopper, this time over place-shifting, not ad-skipping
Author: Brittany Turner
News Corp.’s Fox Broadcasting unit, rebuffed in earlier efforts to obstruct Dish’s Hopper DVR for skipping commercials, now seeks an injunction to shut out the brand-new Hopper with Sling for delivering live and recorded TELEVISION to computers, phones, and tablets over the web.
According to Bloomberg, Fox sought a preliminary injunction yesterday in federal court in Los Angeles, alleging the Hopper’s Sling attributes breach Fox’s license arrangement with Meal and infringe the network & rsquo; s copyrights on its programs. The Hollywood Press reporter keeps in mind that this is a modified version of Fox’s earlier claim against Recipe in the same court, with the same judge. A copy of the modified problem acquired by the EFF shows some of the brand-new charges Fox is making …

CES Awards The DISH Hopper “Best Of CES” After All, Drops CNET As Awards Partner
Author: JohnnyBells
CES today issued a press release announcing that DISH’s Hopper with Sling technology built-in is the “Best of Show” after all, an honor it will share with existing winner the Razer Edge for the 2013 show. The decision follows the revelation that CNET was ordered to remove the Hopper from consideration after CNET parent company CBS asked them to. CBS is currently involved in litigation with DISH over Hopper functionality.
Along with the granting of the award, CES also announced that it will launch an RFP seeking a new partner for the “Best of CES” awards “soon”, since it isn’t confident that relationship with CNET will continue to be beneficial for the CES brand.
“CES has enjoyed a long and productive partnership with CNET and the Best of CES awards,” CEA SVP of Events and Conferences Karen Chupka said in the release. “However, we are concerned the new review policy will have a negative impact on our brand should we continue the awards relationship as currently constructed. We look forward to receiving new ideas to recognize the ‘best of the best’ products introduced at the International CES.”
The DISH Hopper with Sling can record and play back programming within a 24 hour window after its airing, without commercials, which is the source of CBS’s legal dispute with DISH. CEA joined up with other tech organizations last week to file a brief in support of DISH around the Hopper, as the company is clearly eager to distance itself from the editorial decision made by CNET and its parent company, which came under fire from other media organizations (ours included) and tech industry watchers alike.
CEA came out in strong support of the DISH Hopper in a statement from Gary Shapiro included in the release:
We are shocked that the ‘Tiffany’ network which is known for its high journalistic standards would bar all its reporters from favorably describing classes of technology the network does not like. We believe that the DISH Hopper DVR is fully covered by the Supreme Court’s ruling in Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios Inc. The simple fact is making television easier to watch is not against the law. It is simply pro-innovation and pro-consumer.
The fallout for CNET has already resulted in the departure of Greg Sandoval from the network, who resigned his post, citing a loss of confidence in CBS’s commitment to editorial independence as his reason for leaving.

Dish Explorer for iPad steers Hopper DVRs, tells TV watchers what’s trending
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Dish was quick to capitalize on its Sling Media integration with remote live TELEVISION, but it hasn’t put as much of an emphasis on exactly what happens when we’re still sitting easily in our living spaces. It’s filling that gap with the launch of its Explorer app for the iPad. Customers with a Hopper DVR can control their set-top box directly from the tablet, as you ‘d anticipate, but they’ll additionally get a companion to whatever they’re seeing, whether it’s live or taped. Explorer catches the buzz around a show on Facebook and Twitter, consisting of positions if you ‘d like to see exactly what shows are the most popular; it likewise constructs in Thuuz sports stats and scores to identify what’s most likely to be the big game for the day, even as it’s occurring. The app does not formally reach the App Store until Monday, and there’s no word of an Android harbor, but we’ll be sure to share our first-hand experiences as soon as possible.

Dish’s Hopper DVR adds commercial skipping for prime time broadcasts
Author: Tristan Richards
Dish Network’s Hopper DVR is making it easier to watch prime time shows without commercial breaks. A new feature called Auto Hop lets users watch archived “Primetime Anytime” shows completely commercial-free, beginning at 1AM the day after recording. Primetime Anytime records all of the broadcast programming from ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox that airs between the hours of 8 PM and 11 PM Eastern Time simultaneously, letting you replay the shows for up to eight days after they’ve aired.
Behind the scenes, Auto Hop doesn’t record the shows commercial-free, it actually edits out the commercial breaks beginning at 1 AM. That means if you miss Dancing With the Stars by just an hour you’ll still have to sit through the ads. Dish notes that…

Dish Network’s Hopper DVRs Can Now ‘Auto Hop’ Through Commercials
Author: James Cliff
Tell me if this sounds familiar — you’re sitting on a couch watching television, and the commercial breaks seem way longer than the snippets of the show you’re actually trying to watch.
As it turns out, some Dish Network customers have been granted a bit of respite from that advertising onslaught. Users who have their living rooms tricked out with the company’s Hopper DVRs can now automatically skip every commercial break with a single touch thanks to their newly-launched Auto Hop feature.
They’ll never have to sit (or 30-second skip) through another promo for America’s Got Talent ever again… unless they’re the kind of people who like their television live.
You see, that new Auto-Hop functionality only works as part of the DVR’s PrimeTime Anytime feature, which can automatically record and store primetime TV programs from ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC in HD for up to eight days. That’s admittedly a pretty cool concept on its own — users are stripped of the need to set up recordings and make plans around their favorite network television shows, as their box just stores all of it — and Auto Hop makes it less of a headache whenever people actually get to sit down and veg out.
Most of the time, anyway. According to a recent release from the television service provider, Auto Hop works with “most shows recorded using PrimeTime Anytime,” which only stokes the flames of my curiosity: what shows won’t it work with?
Alas, while Auto Hop would be a marvelous addition to the live television watching experience, we’ll just have to settle for the feature as it stands. Dish subscribers who don’t have the prerequisite hardware (or would rather watch TV at the same time everyone else does) still have the standard 30 second time skip to lean on.

Dish Hopper multi-room DVR in action (video)
Author: Antonio Pierce
The show floor opened, so we headed to the Dish booth to check out the Hopper multi-room DVR in action. Like the images from the press event, the UI looks a lot like the VIP 922 but with a few new screens to keep up with what the tuners are doing and for access to Primetime Anytime. We also learned along the way that outside of standard primetime hours, the DVR is limited to recording three shows at once.
